House of Sopore man linked to banned outfit searched

The police in north Kashmir’s Sopore said on Friday that as part of the ongoing crackdown on the separatist-terror ecosystem, the police today carried out another search operation in connection with a case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against the banned outfit Muslim League.

A statement said the latest search was conducted at the residence of Irfan Ahmed Antoo, a resident of Kralteng Sopore. He is affiliated with the proscribed organisation and linked with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

The police said during the operation, conducted in presence of magistrates and independent witnesses, “incriminating materials were recovered and seized for further investigation.”

According to the police, this action follows yesterday’s search operation conducted at the residence of another Muslim League-linked individual.

“Sopore police reiterates its resolve to pursue all such elements aiding or abetting terrorism or separatist propaganda,” the statement said.
