Srinagar, Apr 25 (NVI): Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) of J&K Police on Saturday conducted extensive searches inside Central Jail Srinagar in connection with a terror-linked, recovering multiple digital devices during the operation.
The searching was carried out following a warrant issued by the Special NIA Court Srinagar in FIR No. 06/2023 registered under IPC Sections 153-A, 505, 121, 120-B and relevant provisions of the UA(P) Act at Police Station CI Kashmir.
Acting on credible technical inputs about suspicious digital activity within the high-security prison, CIK teams, in coordination with jail authorities, searched several barracks and blocks. During the raid, officials seized incriminating digital communication devices suspected to have links with terror activities.
Sources said the recovered will undergo detailed forensic analysis to establish possible connections with a wider terror network.
Meanwhile, investigators have launched a parallel probe into the apparent security lapse that allowed such devices inside the jail premises. The role of facilitators and insiders is under scrutiny, with officials indicating strict legal action against those found involved.
The operation is part of a broader crackdown to dismantle the terror ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir by targeting Over Ground Workers (OGWs) and preventing misuse of communication channels within sensitive installations, officials added.(NVI)
