A police spokesman said Police conducted extensive raids at multiple locations across the city.

He said the coordinated search operations were conducted across various areas of Srinagar, targeting individuals involved in facilitating, aiding, or abetting terror-related activities.
Over 150 residences were raided in the city and these searches were carried out in all Zones of Srinagar City covering various Police Stations and Police Posts, along with SOG component of District Police.
The searches were conducted in accordance with due legal procedure, in the presence of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses, and under the supervision of senior officers of J&K Police, the spokesman said.
The objective of these operations, he said, was to seize incriminating material such as documents, digital devices, and other evidence relevant to ongoing investigations. The raids also form part of a broader intelligence-gathering exercise aimed at pre-empting and disrupting any conspiratorial or terrorist activities threatening public peace and national security.
This action underscores the commitment of Srinagar Police to identify and take firm legal action against all individuals involved in promoting or supporting terror-related and anti-national activities, added the police spokesman.
