The NIA sleuths accompanied by police and paramilitary personnel conducted raids on some houses in the Nehama and Litter area of Pulwama, the Frisal area of Kulgam, the Achwal area of Anantnag and the Wachi area of Shopian districts in south Kashmir.

The NIA sleuths seized the laptops and mobile phones. Some of the houses searched by the NIA belonged to banned Jamaat-e-Islami activists.
