NIA Raids 12 Locations in Jammu to Disrupt Cross-Border Terror Networks

The operation targets overground workers and hybrid terrorists supporting infiltration by Pakistan-based groups Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted coordinated raids at 12 locations in Jammu on March 19, 2025, as part of its investigation into cross-border terrorist infiltration.
The raids targeted overground workers (OGWs) and hybrid terrorists who provide logistical support, including shelter, food, and safe passage, to infiltrating militants.
Authorities seized incriminating documents and electronic devices during the operation, with suspects being interrogated for further information.
The investigation, launched in October 2024, focuses on dismantling networks aiding terrorists linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
The crackdown aligns with the government's zero-tolerance policy on terrorism, as directed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, emphasizing the elimination of terror ecosystems.
