CIK nabs nine during anti-terror raids across Kashmir

In a crackdown on online terror networks, Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) launched coordinated raids across the region and detained nine suspects.

“Nine suspects, including one female, have been detained. A cache of incriminating evidence ranging from SIM cards and mobile phones to tablets and a variety of digital devices has been seized for forensic examination. The material recovered is expected to yield critical leads, paving the way for further investigation and additional enforcement action,” the statement read.

Acting on credible intelligence regarding the online glorification of terrorism and the radicalisation of youth, CIK teams targeted 10 specific locations spanning Srinagar, Kulgam, Baramulla, Shopian, and Pulwama.

“This robust operation, conducted with support from local police, focused on individuals alleged to be misusing social media platforms to incite violence, spread anti-national propaganda and foster communal hatred. The CIK action underscores its commitment to safeguarding public order and the internal security of the region by rooting out digital threats at their source,” the spokesperson said.
