The Jammu and Kashmir Police’s special cell, the State Investigation Agency (SIA), raided multiple locations across J&K in a money laundering case to the tune of ₹85 crores, which was funnelled for militancy and separatism.
A SIA spokesman on Saturday said 10 locations in Srinagar, Pulwama and Anantnag districts were searched. The special teams of the SIA, the spokesman said, recovered incriminating material in the shape of electronic gadgets like mobile devices, laptops, SIM cards and documents like passports, cheques, passbooks, credit and debit cards etc.
