Sopore police sweep 26 sites linked to banned Jamaat-e-Islami J&K
Police in Sopore inspected 26 locations as part of a UAPA investigation into the outlawed Jamaat-e-Islami J&K, confiscating paperwork and electronic gear.
Authorities conducted coordinated searches across 26 premises in Sopore, a town in north Kashmir, targeting the prohibited Jamaat-e-Islami J&K. The operation, carried out under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, resulted in the seizure of documents, literature and digital devices. Officials say the probe aims to uncover any connections between the group and terrorist organisations as well as its role in youth radicalisation.
