Jammu and Kashmir Police Investigate Controversial Books with Simultaneous SearchesPreviousNext

The Counter Intelligence wing of Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted simultaneous searches in Jammu and Noida investigating two books accused of glorifying separatists. The probe involves questioning officials at Samagra Shiksha and publishers, with evidence seized but no arrests made. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha suspended eight education officials and ordered an inquiry after political parties raised concerns. An FIR was filed under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
