“The search was conducted in the presence of Magistrates and independent witnesses, ensuring full legal compliance and procedural transparency,” the police said.

According to the police, this action is part of Sopore police’s broader strategy to “identify, isolate and take firm action against individuals and networks involved in promoting separatism, radical ideology or any activity that threatens public order and national sovereignty.”

“Sopore police reiterates its commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that no element is allowed to disturb the hard-earned peace and stability in the district,” the police said.

The Centre had banned the Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) on February 28, 2019, for five years. The ban was extended again on February 28, 2024.
