ED Conducts Searches in Srinagar in Terror Funding Investigation Linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting searches at four locations in Srinagar linked to Umar Adil Dar and his associates as part of an investigation into alleged terror funding. Dar is accused of acting as an overground worker for the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and was previously detained with cash and incriminating materials. The probe aims to trace proceeds of crime, financial networks, and possible connections to handlers across the border, with Dar having spent around four years in jail for alleged separatist activities.
