SRINAGAR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday conducted raids at eight locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with a terror funding case.
According to sources, the raids are still underway in close coordination with Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) at seven locations in Kashmir and one in Jammu.
The agency sleuths are carrying out these raids at Shopian and Baramulla, among other areas. The places searched included the residents and other hideouts of the suspects linked to the case.

The raids were conducted days after the central agency arrested an accused in the Pakistan-backed terrorism case involving the delivery of weapons through drones to terrorists active in Kashmir.
The agency shared the input on November 29 after a team from the NIA Jammu Branch nabbed 22-year-old Zakir Hussain of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district on November 27.
He was the eighth accused to be arrested in the case registered by the NIA on July 30 last year after taking over the case from Kathua Police.
One of the seven accused arrested earlier had died due to cardiac arrest while in judicial custody while two Pakistan-based terror operatives are absconding.
