Jammu: The special investigation unit (SIU) of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday carried out raids at six places in Kishtwar district against terrorists operating from Pakistan.
Kishtwar SSP Khalil Poswal said after obtaining search warrants from Jammu’s NIA court in a case registered last year under the UAPA Act, six teams were constituted under sub-divisional police officers and simultaneous raids were conducted at the houses of Manzoor Ahmed alias @ Tahir Ingalabi, Nazir Ahmed alias Shaheen, Shabir Ahmed alias Junaid, Mohd Igbal Rishi alias Muzamil Ansari, Mohd Amin Bhatt and Mohd Iqbal alias Bilal, all Kishtwar residents, currently operating from Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
In a bid to dismantle the terror ecosystem in the district, the Kishtwar police had procured non-bailable warrants from a Jammu NIA court in March and April against 36 local terrorists currently operating from Pakistan, and has since launched a crackdown against them, raiding their houses and confiscating their property.
