Srinagar: As part of its probe into a case involving the funding of terrorism, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is conducting searches at different places in South Kashmir’s Pulwama and Shopian.
The case focuses on the financing of terrorism and criminal scheme planned by terror organisations using a variety of pseudo names at the order of their Pakistani commanders or handlers.
On May 11, the investigation agency conducted raids at the homes of Shoaib Ahmad Choor at Sangri Colony in Baramulla district, Javid Ahmad Dhobi at Syed Kareem, and Abdul Khaliq Regoo at Kansipora as part of a case involving a terror conspiracy.
After a major terror incident in Poonch that left five soldiers dead, the NIA took this action. Five Army personnel were killed days after the Poonch incident when terrorists who had been cornered by the troops set off an explosion in a heavily forested location in the Rajouri district of Jammu division. The explosion brought on by the improvised explosive device (IED) also injured a police officer.
Following court orders, the NIA previously attached three accused individuals’ properties in Kashmir at separate locations in accordance with the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
