NIA Conducts Raids in Connection With Kashmir Minority Killings
A spike in militant attacks on non-locals and Kashmiri Hindus has prompted federal authorities to step in.
India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted search operations at 14 locations across Jammu and Kashmir on Friday.
The agency said the raids were conducted in connection to a case that pertains to criminal conspiracy for carrying out "terrorist and subversive activities" by various militant organizations, primarily targeting minorities and security personnel.
The ongoing raids are part of a criminal case the agency filed in June after a spate of targeted killings of non-local residents and the Hindu minority of the region. As many as six Kashmiri Pandits have been killed since 2020 according to Ministry of Home Affairs data.
"The case pertains to the criminal conspiracy for carrying out terrorist & subversive activities hatched by the cadres and overground workers of various proscribed organizations and their affiliates/off-shoots, operating under various pseudo names, at the behest of their Pakistani commanders/handlers. They are involved in carrying out terrorist attacks by using cyber-space in J&K, targeting minorities, security personnel and spreading communal disharmony," the agency said in a statement.
