The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) carried out a series of pre-dawn raids across Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday in connection with alleged militant activities, officials and sources said.
The operations were conducted at multiple locations in Srinagar and other parts of the Valley as part of an ongoing investigation, officials said.
At least six people, including two women, were detained for questioning during the raids, while several digital devices, including mobile phones, were seized for further examination as part of the investigation, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Officials said the raids were linked to a case registered at CIK Srinagar under FIR No. 03 of 2023.
Locals interrogated
They said search operations were carried out in several neighbourhoods, including Taweheedabad, Habak, Bemina and Pazalpora, in and around Srinagar.
“During these raids, three persons, including a woman, were detained for questioning,” an official said, without disclosing further details.
In central Kashmir’s Budgam district, the CIK conducted a raid at a residence in the Panzipora area of Chadoora, officials said. A woman and her father were taken to a police station for questioning in connection with the case, they added.
In south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, the CIK raided a house in the Wallerhama area of Pahalgam and seized a laptop and a mobile phone, officials said. “The devices were seized for forensic analysis as part of the ongoing probe.”
Officials said the searches were conducted following intelligence inputs and were aimed at identifying suspected networks involved in militancy.
They did not provide details on the nature of the alleged links or whether further arrests were expected.
Security agencies have stepped up counter-intelligence operations across the Valley in recent months.
Authorities say such operations are part of efforts to prevent attacks and disrupt logistical and communication channels used by militant groups operating in the region.
The CIK did not immediately comment on whether those detained would be formally charged or released after questioning.
