According to officials, a person from Myanmar was detained in Jammu. The raids are part of investigations into human trafficking cases and are being carried out in eight states and two Union Territories, as stated by an NIA spokesperson.

In Tripura, Assam, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Haryana, Rajasthan, and the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry, searches were conducted. During a raid in Jammu and Kashmir, a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar named Zaffar Alam was taken into custody.
