In a significant security operation, the Srinagar Police launched coordinated raids across the city on Thursday, targeting multiple locations associated with individuals and institutions believed to have ties to the terror organization Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI). This action was prompted by credible intelligence suggesting activities that could jeopardize the security of the region.
Police teams from various units simultaneously executed searches at several residential and commercial properties, focusing on the homes and businesses of nine key individuals. Notable targets included the residence of Umar Sultan Guru, a travel agency owner from Chanpora; Mohd Abdullah Wani’s current home in Baghat; and Gh Mohd Bhat’s property in Bemina. Additional searches were conducted at the residences of Haji Mohammad Ramzan Lone in Soura, Shahid Zahgeer in Buchpora, Mohd Ramzan Naik in Lalbazar, Bashir Ahmad Lone in Harwan, and two residents from Nowgam, Peer Giyas-ud-Din and Manzoor Ahmad.
In addition to private residences, police also inspected several institutions suspected of ideological alignment with JeI. These included Jamiat-ul-Banaat at Kashmir University’s Lal Bazar campus, the Rahat Manzil (JK Yateem Khana) in Chattabal, Chinar Publication Trust in Maisuma, and the Al-Kousar Book Shop, also located in Maisuma. Officials confirmed that all searches were conducted under proper legal authorization and adhered to established procedural norms.
During the operation, police recovered what they described as “incriminating materials,” which have been secured for detailed forensic and analytical examination. While the specific nature of the seized items was not disclosed, authorities indicated that they are pertinent to ongoing investigations.
A senior police spokesperson emphasized that this operation underscores the department’s commitment to maintaining a stable security framework in the Valley. “These searches are part of our preventive measures to curb unlawful activities and ensure a peaceful atmosphere for all residents,” the official stated, adding that further legal actions will depend on the investigation’s outcomes.
