Srinagar, Feb 17 || The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday carried out searches at the house of a retired government employee in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar city in connection with a terror-related case registered in 2024.
Official sources said NIA carried out searches at the house of Gulam Nabi Bhat in the Mehjoor Nagar area of Srinagar city this morning.
The J&K Police and CRPF assisted the NIA sleuths during the search operation.
More details about the raid and official statements are awaited.
The NIA has been investigating high-profile terror cases in the union territory. Some of these include the cases against JKLF chairman Yasin Malik, senior separatist leaders Shabir Shah, Nayeem Khan, Engineer Rashid and others.
In one terror case against Yasin Malik, the NIA succeeded in getting a life term for Yasin Malik. NIA has sought a death sentence for Yasin Malik in the killings of four IAF personnel, including Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna.
On January 25, 1990, terrorists from the JKLF attacked Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel in Rawalpora, Srinagar, killing four and injuring 30 others. Led by Yasin Malik, the incident remains a significant legal case.
