Srinagar, June 10: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Tuesday carried out raids at two residential locations in the border district of Poonch as part of an ongoing investigation into a narco-terrorism case, officials said.
A police spokesman said that the meticulously planned raids were executed simultaneously by specialized SIA teams, supported by local police and magistrates, as part of the agency’s ongoing investigation into a narco-terrorism case.
He said SIA teams searched the houses of Mohd Jameel alias “Akash” and Amir Sohail in Gagrian village. During the raids, several digital devices and incriminating documents were seized.
The case, registered by SIA Jammu in 2022, pertains to the recovery of a large quantity of narcotics smuggled from across the border. Investigations revealed that proceeds from the sale of the contraband were being used to fund terror-related activities in the Union Territory, officials added.
Earlier on May 10, SIA carried out coordinated raids at 18 locations across four districts, resulting in the recovery of substantial incriminating material. The raids were conducted days after SIA Kashmir raided 11 locations across Central and North Kashmir as part of ongoing investigation into a suspected sleeper cell module.
