| Bathindi IED case: NIA conducts searches at multiple locations in J&K | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Sept 21: The sleuths of National Investigation Agency (NIA) with the assistance of police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) conducted searches at eight locations in six districts across Jammu and Kashmir.
A NIA spokesman said that raids were conducted in connection with the Bathindi IED recovery case.
He said searches were conducted at eight locations in Anantnag, Baramulla, Kulgam and Srinagar in Kashmir, Doda and Kishtwar Districts in Jammu region.
He said the case was initially registered as FIR No 0234/2021 dated 27.06.2021 of Police Station Bahu Fort District Jammu, relating to recovery of 5kgs IED from a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant in Bathindi, Jammu on 27.06.2021. “The conspiracy by LeT was aimed at causing an explosion in Jammu using the IED. NIA had re-registered the case as RC-04/2021/NIA/JMU dated 19.07.2021. NIA had earlier arrested three persons in this case,” he said.
He said investigation revealed that Pakistan based handlers of proscribed militant outfit LeT and their associates based in J&K are planning terrorist activities in J&K using the pseudo-acronym TRF so as to maintain plausible deniability and evade LEAs.
He said during the searches conducted today, many digital devices and other incriminating materials have been recovered from the premises of the suspects. “Further investigation in the case continues,” he said. |
