Jammu: In a major crackdown to dismantle the terror ecosystem, Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday carried out simultaneous raids in the houses of terrorists hailing from Doda and Kishtwar districts, who had crossed over the border and are presently operating from the Pakistan-occupied-Kasmir (PoK) and Pakistan.

The raids were carried out at several locations in both districts.

"The raids are underway in the houses of terrorists, who are residents of Doda and Kishtwar but are presently operating from PoK and Pakistan," official sources said.

They stated that many locations in Doda and Kishtwar have been raided.

"The houses are not sealed, but during searches, electronic gadgets, incriminating documents and related material have been seized by the teams," they said.

They added that the searches would also help to gather evidence and identify their supporters and sympathisers who are working as overground workers in these hilly terrains.

The raids are underway, they said.

Notably, in 2023, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Special Court, upon the request of police, issued non-bailable warrants against 23 terrorists from district Kishtwar but settled and operating from Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK).

Let Terrorists Houses Demolished

Three days ago the houses of two Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) terrorists were blasted in South Kashmir, said official sources. These terrorists were believed to be behind the deadly Pahalgam attack on tourists.

They said the houses of Asif Sheikh, of the Monaghama area of Tral Pulwama, and Adil Hussain Thokar from Anantnag were blasted during the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.

On the other hand, a senior Police Officer said a house in Tral was badly damaged due to the presence of some explosive material present.

The police officer said in Tral, during the searches by security forces, some suspicious objects were observed.

“Security forces sensed danger and swiftly retracted for safety, but there was a huge blast in which the house got badly damaged. It seems that some suspicious explosive material was present,” said the Police official.
