SRINAGAR: Continuing its investigation into case FIR No. 65/2024 under section 13 UA(P) Act, Police in Srinagar have conducted a raid in Natipora, Srinagar, as part of efforts to dismantle a network involved in spreading fabricated and malicious narratives aimed at inciting unlawful and violent activities.

The investigation is focused on certain individuals who, at the behest of adversaries and in criminal conspiracy, have been involved in manufacturing and disseminating twisted, false information. This campaign of misinformation is intended to provoke violence and disrupt public order.

Following the acquisition of search warrants from the NIA Court, Srinagar Police carried out searches at the residence of one Abdul Hamid Parry son of Gulam Mohammad Parry resident of Budshah Nagar, Natipora. During the raid, incriminating materials and electronic devices were seized. Further searches are planned at the residences of other identified suspects linked to this malicious propaganda.

In addition, last week, Srinagar Police conducted raids in Batamaloo and HMT areas, targeting two individuals namely Obais Riyaz Dar son of Riyaz Ahmad Dar resident of Bonpora Batamaloo and Sahil Ah Bhat son of Noor Mohammad resident of HMT Zainakot, who were identified as key figures in orchestrating the unlawful narrative.

J&K Police urge the public, particularly youth, to be vigilant and responsible while using social media platforms. Citizens are reminded to refrain from sharing or uploading content that promotes false, inciteful narratives and could lead others to engage in acts of terror.

Srinagar Police have identified additional suspects connected to the ongoing investigation and are planning further raids in the coming days. These actions are part of a larger effort to combat the misuse of social media for spreading harmful and misleading information that threatens public order and safety. The public is urged to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in maintaining peace and ensuring that such divisive and harmful narratives do not spread.
