J&K Police Expand Valley Crackdown, Detain Over 1,000 as Probe Zeroes In on Fai Network

Officials describe a pre-emptive push to dismantle a terror support ecosystem after intelligence pointed to attempts to disrupt peace.

Overview

  • Police said more than 1,000 people have been rounded up across Kashmir during four days of synchronized raids, with The Indian Express reporting over 1,500 picked up for questioning.
  • Budgam officers conducted searches tied to US-based separatist Ghulam Nabi Fai’s alleged network, with property-attachment proceedings underway after an NIA court declared him a proclaimed offender in April.
  • In Ganderbal, 39 people were held under preventive measures and seized digital devices were sent for forensic analysis, according to police statements.
  • District-wide CASOs spanned roughly 10 districts, with searches of properties linked to PoK/Pakistan-based Kashmiri natives and OGWs, extensive vehicle checks, and scrutiny of SIM vendors.
  • Follow-up actions include applications to cancel bail for UAPA-accused individuals, surprise inspections at District Jail Doda in Bhaderwah, and a security review chaired by LG Manoj Sinha.
