Reasi Pilgrims Attack: NIA Raids Multiple Sites in J&K
In a major breakthrough, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at multiple locations in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, in relation to the Reasi Pilgrims terror attack case. The raids took place across various districts, including Reasi, Poonch, and Rajouri, with NIA teams investigating individuals suspected to be linked to the attack.
The Reasi terror attack, which occurred in 2022, targeted a group of pilgrims traveling to the holy shrine of Vaishno Devi. Several lives were lost in the brutal attack, sending shockwaves across the nation. The ongoing investigation has revealed key connections between the attackers and cross-border terror outfits, prompting the NIA to intensify its efforts to nab those involved.
The raids focused on uncovering crucial evidence, with officials confiscating electronic devices, documents, and other materials that could provide leads in the case. Sources indicate that the NIA is zeroing in on individuals with suspected links to terror networks operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
An NIA spokesperson confirmed the searches but refrained from disclosing further details, citing the sensitive nature of the investigation. The agency's swift action comes as part of its broader strategy to dismantle terror networks and prevent future attacks on religious pilgrims.
Local security forces were on high alert during the raids to ensure smooth operations and maintain public safety. The investigation remains ongoing, with further updates expected as the NIA delves deeper into the case.
