The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Friday launched coordinated search operations at multiple locations across the Kashmir Valley.
Searches were conducted in Srinagar, Budgam and Anantnag districts in connection with a case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) by the Counter Intelligence Kashmir Police.
According to reports, the searches were carried out in connection with FIR No. 07/2023, registered at Police Station Counter Intelligence Kashmir. Following the registration of the case, CIK teams conducted searches at several residential premises across the three districts.
In Srinagar, CIK personnel searched a residential house reportedly linked to a graduate who is allegedly involved in terror activities and working as an overground worker (OGW) for a proscribed terrorist organisation.
The case has been registered under Sections 153-A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), along with Sections 13, 18, 18-A and 39 of the UAPA.
Sources further said that the individual’s mother was deported to Pakistan on April 29, 2025, and is currently residing there.

Earlier, CIK teams also searched two residential houses in Bijbehara and another location in the Mattan area of Anantnag district. The operations were conducted with the assistance of local police and revenue officials.
The coordinated searches are part of the ongoing investigation into the case registered in 2023. Further details regarding the outcome of the operations and any subsequent action are awaited.
Initial reports suggested that documents, digital equipment and other materials were recovered during the raids. However, authorities have maintained silence over the outcome of the ongoing search operations.
