Guwahati: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is conducting searches at 16 locations in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday in conjunction with an investigation into Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI)-related terror funding.
Searches are ongoing at five locations in Kishtwar and 11 locations in Baramulla.
“It is alleged that funds collected under the name of JEI Charity are being given to terrorist organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen for carrying out terrorist attacks in Kashmir,” an NIA source said.
The central investigation agency has also apprehended a few people who are currently being questioned.
According to reports, the NIA is also looking into other dubious documents.
Raids were also conducted in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday in connection with the same case.
The NIA has so far not commented on the development.
