New Delhi [India], May 15 (ANI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday conducted searches at 13 locations in five districts of Jammu and Kashmir in a case pertaining to the criminal conspiracy for carrying out terrorist and subversive activities hatched by the cadres and Overground Workers (OWGs) of various proscribed organisations and their affiliates and off-shoots operating under various pseudo names at the behest of their Pakistani commanders and handlers.
The raids are still underway in Budgam, Shopian, Pulwama, Srinagar, and Anantnag districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
The searches were conducted at the premises of several suspects and OWGs of various banned outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir.
On December 23 last year, the NIA also conducted searches at 14 locations in Kulgam, Pulwama, Anantnag, Sopore and Jammu districts.
