The Jammu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) conducted a search operation in Srinagar’s Rainawari area regarding an ongoing terror-related investigation. The raid targeted the residence of Asim Farooq, son of Farooq Ahmad Budoo, in Kralyar, Rainawari. This action is part of a registered case involving terror activities and alleged cyberspace misuse.
The SIA, a specialized anti-terror investigative unit, focuses on prosecuting terrorism-related crimes swiftly. It collaborates with national authorities like the NIA and handles cases of militancy, white-collar terrorism, and narco-terrorism. The agency’s current investigation is ongoing, with more information expected to follow.
Established to combat serious national security offenses, the SIA in Jammu and Kashmir tackles cases such as terror funding, cross-border narco-terrorism, and cyberterrorism. It also reopens historical cases of terror-related killings and secessionist plots. The agency’s scope includes probing financial networks supporting militant groups like LeT and JeM, as well as investigating white-collar terror activities.
