SRINAGAR, November 27, 2025 : In a major counter-terror operation, Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday carried out simultaneous raids across multiple districts of the Kashmir valley as part of an intensified crackdown on the banned organisation Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI).
According to officials, coordinated searches were conducted in Anantnag, Pulwama, Budgam, Kulgam, and Kupwara, targeting residential premises, offices, and other locations linked to JeI members and their associates.

The searches aimed to disrupt the organisation’s operational channels and dismantle its funding and logistical ecosystem.

During the raids, police teams seized:
-
Electronic gadgets
-
Documents and organisational literature

Material suspected to be linked with JeI’s covert operations
All recovered items have been sent for detailed technical and forensic analysis, officials confirmed.
