The National Investigation Agency on Monday carried out raids in Jammu and Kashmir’s Shopian and Srinagar districts, including Darul Uloom Sirajul Uloom, which was declared an illegal entity last month.
According to officials, NIA teams conducted searches at the Darul Uloom Sirajul Uloom in the Imam Sahib area during the early hours. The institution provides both religious and formal education to hundreds of students.
In a parallel operation, another NIA team searched the residence of former chief of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami, Shahzada Aurangzeb, in Molu Chitragam area of Shopian.
The central agency also conducted searches at Jamiat ul Banaat, a religious school for girls, in Srinagar's Lal Bazar area.
Authorities are yet to disclose further details about the raids.
