Jammu: The State Investigation Agency (SIA) of J&K Police on Thursday carried out a raid at the office of the ‘Kashmir Times’ in Jammu, alleging that the newspaper has been involved in anti-national activities and spreading disaffection against the country.
Official sources said the SIA has filed a First Information Report (FIR) naming Anuradha Bhasin, Editor of Kashmir Times, in connection with these charges.
“The investigation aims to examine her alleged links and activities that threaten the sovereignty of India. The operation underscores the ongoing crackdown on terror networks in Kashmir, with SIA asserting that there must be no misuse to propagate seditious or separatist ideologies,” sources added.
The Counter-Intelligence wing and the SIA of J&K Police have been carrying out raids at multiple locations in the union territory since November 10, when a local doctor, Umar Nabi, exploded a car next to the Red Fort in Delhi, killing 13 innocent civilians and injuring many others. The terrorist, Dr Umar Nabi, who died in the explosion, had evaded arrest after J&K Police, in coordination with Haryana Police, busted a white collar terror module in the Faridabad area.
Police have arrested two terror associates of Dr Umar Nabi, namely Dr Adil Rather of Kulgam district and Dr Muzammil Ganaie of Pulwama district, following which Dr Umar Nabi had gone underground.
While one AK-47 rifle was recovered from the locker of Dr Adil Rather in the Government Medical College, Anantnag, 360 kg of explosive material was recovered from Dr Muzammil Rather.
The Counter-Intelligence wing also raided the high-profile Kot Bhalwal district jail in Jammu on Wednesday, where hardcore Pakistani and local terrorists are lodged.
Another local doctor, Umar Farooq and his wife, Shahzada Akhtar, were arrested two days back in Srinagar for using their position in the society, allegedly for anti-national activities.
Shahzada Akhtar was arrested for trying to revive the women’s terrorist outfit, Dukhtaran-e-Millat. It is alleged that Shahzada was working to recruit a fresh cadre for the outfit that had become defunct after the arrest of its chief, Asiya Andrabi, in 2018.
