thebalanced.newsNIA Conducts Raids in Jammu and Kashmir Targeting Banned Jamaat-e-Islami Locations
In February 2024, the Indian government extended the ban on Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, citing its involvement in separatism and terrorism. Following this, the National Investigation Agency conducted coordinated raids across multiple locations in Central and South Kashmir, including Lal Bazaar in Srinagar and Shopian district. Searches targeted sites linked to the banned group, such as Darul Uloom Sirajul Uloom and the residence of former Jamaat chief Shahzada Aurangzeb, amid concerns over attempts to revive separatist activities.
