New Delhi, June 6 -- The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday carried out raids at 32 locations in Jammu and Kashmir belonging to several overground workers associated with Pakistan-based terror groups, people familiar with the development said. The raids were carried out in Shopian, Kulgam, Pulwama, Sopore and Kupwara, they said, adding that central paramilitary forces and J&K police assisted the federal agency in searches. To be sure, the raids are not linked to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, but a 2022 case filed by the federal agency pertaining to a conspiracy by banned terrorist organisations and their offshoots to carry out violent attacks with sticky bombs, IEDs and small arms, etc., in Jammu and Kashmir. NIA had registered a suo motu case on 21 June 2022 to dismantle the terror network operated by Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammad, as well as their newly launched offshoots, The Resistance Front, United Liberation Front Jammu & Kashmir, Mujahideen Gazwat-ul-Hind, Jammu & Kashmir Freedom Fighters, Kashmir Tigers, PAAF and others. htc...
