The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has carried out searches at multiple raids in connection with an ongoing investigation into a terror financing case involving Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). The raids were conducted across five states and Union Territories, including Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Delhi, covering 26 locations yesterday. The NIA  searched premises in Meerut and Saharanpur in UP; Goalpara in Assam; Aurangabad, Jalna, and Malegaon in Maharashtra;   Baramulla, Pulwama, and Ramban in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi.

During the searches, NIA teams seized several incriminating documents, electronic devices, pamphlets, and magazines. These are being examined for further leads and evidence against the suspects whose premises were searched yesterday. The suspects were engaged in radicalising individuals and disseminating terrorist-related propaganda. They also radicalised and recruited youth into the Jamaat outfit, inspired by JeM. The suspects also motivated youth to commit terror attacks across India, as revealed by NIA investigations.
