In a statement, a spokesperson said that the searches were conducted as part of an ongoing investigation of case FIR No. “01/2025 of Police Station CI/SIA Kashmir. The case is related to the sleeper cell module operating in the Valley at the behest of terrorist commanders of proscribed terrorist organisations of Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. The module was used for spreading secessionist propaganda thereby radicalising and recruiting the youth into the terror fold,” read the statement.
It read that today’s search operation was conducted simultaneously across 7 districts in north, central and south Kashmir. “During raids, substantial incriminating materials have been seized, and the suspects have been rounded up for further questioning,” it read.
It added that preliminary investigation has clearly brought out the active engagement of these entities in a terrorist conspiracy aimed at propagating and furthering anti-India narratives aimed not only at challenging the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India but also at inciting disaffection, public disorder, and communal hatred.
“Searches highlight the continued and unrelenting efforts of the State Investigating Agency to ensure that the whole of the module is dismantled & with aim to strike at roots of the terror ecosystem,” it read.
