The crackdown by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to unearth the terror funding network in Jammu and Kashmir continued on Monday. Multiple NIA teams conducted searches at six locations, including the residence of a former government official in District Doda and one suspect in District Jammu of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in the case involving Jamaat-e-Islami J&K, which continues to raise funds in various forms ostensibly for charitable purposes despite its designation as an unlawful association in 2019.These funds are, however, being diverted to terrorist organisations, such as Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba etc for promoting terrorist activities in the Kashmir valley as well as the rest of India.
The case was registered suo-moto on 5 February 2021. A chargesheet has already been filed against four people in the case. Searches conducted today led to the recovery of incriminating literature, receipts of funds raised by JEI J&K, bank and property-related documents, and electronic devices.
Further investigations into the case are in progress.
