What Happened
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at 10 locations across Jammu & Kashmir, including Kupwara, Kulgam, Bandipora, Baramulla and Sopore, as part of an investigation into a cross-border terror conspiracy linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The agency said the raids targeted alleged local Over Ground Workers (OGWs) suspected of providing shelter, communication, movement and logistical support to infiltrated terrorists. Investigators also seized material for further examination.
Key Takeaways
The operation highlights India's continued focus on dismantling the local support networks that enable cross-border terrorism. Beyond tracking militants, investigators are examining financial trails, communication channels, and arms supply chains to uncover the full extent of the alleged terror ecosystem.
