KULGAM: In a major crackdown against the banned organisation Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), J&K Police conducted raids at over 200 locations across the district Kulgam. The raids were carried out at the houses and premises of JeI members and their associates, as part of sustained efforts to dismantle the terror ecosystem and its support structure at the grassroots level.

During the past four days, more than 400 Cordon and Search Operations (CASOs) have been conducted across different areas of the district at the premises of OGWs, JKNOPS, Places where encounters took place in past, hideouts of active/ killed terrorists. These operations have led to the interrogation of around 500 individuals affiliated with JKNOPs and other banned outfits, many of whom have been bound down and shifted to District Jail Mattan, Anantnag under preventive laws.

During the raids, incriminating material and digital devices were seized, and several JeI members were interrogated and bound down to further trace and disrupt networks aiding terrorism.
