The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) Saturday raided the district jail in south Kashmir’s Anantnag in connection with its anti-terror investigations. This comes a week after similar raids in the Srinagar jail.
Investigators from CIK, a constituent of J&K Police’s intelligence wing, raided several locations in south Kashmir — including the district jail in Anantnag – Saturday morning and seized around eight digital devices, including cell phones and tablets.
Raids were also conducted in Sonigam and Chawalgam villages of south Kashmir’s Kulgam, and Udhampur and Jammu districts in Jammu region.
“(The) CIK planned raids after tracing technical signatures inside the jail premises and with other suspects at other locations in an ongoing terror case investigation,” officials said.
“This search operation is part of an ongoing investigation into a terror-related case wherein during investigations, technical signatures were found inside the district jail premises,” they said.
Last week, teams from the CIK and the State Investigation Agency (SIA) – the state equivalent of the National Investigation Agency — raided Srinagar’s central jail in connection with a probe into a terror-related case. Police claimed to recover cell phones, SIM cards and other digital devices during the raids.
