NIA raids 32 locations across Kashmir; crackdown on Pakistan-backed terror networks intensifies
NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday launched coordinated searches at 32 locations across Jammu and Kashmir in a continued crackdown on Pakistan-backed terror outfits and their offshoots, which have allegedly been conspiring to destabilise the region.
According to an official statement, the raids targeted residential premises of hybrid terrorists and overground workers linked to banned organisations like
The Resistance Front
(TRF), United Liberation Front Jammu & Kashmir (ULFJ&K), Mujahideen Gazwat-ul-Hind (MGH), Jammu & Kashmir Freedom Fighters (JKFF), Kashmir Tigers, and PAAF. These groups are considered offshoots of proscribed outfits such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Al-Badr.
The agency suspects these individuals have been aiding terror infrastructure by facilitating operatives, transporting sticky bombs and IEDs, managing funds, and handling arms, ammunition, and narcotics.
The NIA said the Pakistan-based handlers have been using online apps and social media to radicalise youth and coordinate activities, while also deploying drones to drop weapons, explosives, and drugs in the Kashmir Valley.

Mithi river desilting scam: ED summons bollywood actor Dino Morea for questioning next week in Rs 65 crore fraud case
Dino Morea NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday summoned Bollywood actor Dino Morea for questioning next week in connection with an alleged Rs 65 crore Mithi river desilting scam, following raids at 15 locations, including the actor's Mumbai residence, on Friday. The case involves accusations of inflated bills, fake work logs, and systematic diversion of public funds meant for flood prevention and drainage maintenance in Mumbai. The raids were conducted across Mumbai and Kochi under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act at locations linked to contractors and officials suspected of embezzlement in the Mithi River desilting operations. The actor's summons comes days after he and his brother were questioned by Mumbai Police in a related corruption case. The ED initiated its investigation after taking note of earlier inquiries by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Comptroller and Auditor General that had flagged potential financial misconduct in the desilting project. Sources within the agency indicated that financial documents, electronic devices, and transaction records are being seized during the ongoing searches. The ED suspects a network of contractors and middlemen submitted fraudulent work completion reports to misappropriate funds intended for infrastructure development. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The Mithi River, which serves as a crucial drainage artery in Mumbai, gained national attention following the devastating floods of 2005.
