 "Police carry out searches in Srinagar at multiple locations after Pahalgam terror attack")
In response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday conducted extensive searches across multiple locations in the city to crack down on the region’s terror-support infrastructure.
A police spokesperson said the intensified operation was part of ongoing efforts to dismantle networks supporting banned militant organisations. The searches targeted suspected terrorist associates and were linked to ongoing investigations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The sweeping crackdown reflects heightened security measures in the aftermath of one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent years.
The searches were carried out in accordance with proper legal procedures, in the presence of executive magistrates and independent witnesses and under the supervision of officers of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, he said.
The searches were conducted to seize arms, documents, digital devices etc., with the objective of evidence collection and intelligence gathering to detect and deter any conspiratorial or terrorist activity against the country’s security, he added.
This decisive police action aims at dismantling the terror ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir by identifying and taking legal action against individuals engaged in anti-national and criminal activities, the spokesperson said.
He said the Srinagar Police remains committed to maintaining peace and security in the city, adding that any individual found furthering the agenda of violence, disruption or unlawful activities will face strict legal consequences.
