Srinagar: Indian forces have intensified searches and harassment in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) following the Indian-orchestrated false flag incident in Pahalgam, which has led to the arrest of thousands of Kashmiris and the demolition of dozens of homes.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the dreaded Indian armed forces—including the Army, Rashtriya Rifles, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Special Operation Group (SOG), police personnel, and the National Investigation Agency (NIA)—have launched widespread house raids and searches targeting defenseless Kashmiris, particularly those affiliated with the Hurriyat camp, across the length and breadth of the Valley.
Indian police conducted raids at 65 locations across Srinagar district in IIOJK.
Over 65 houses of activists were raided and searched in areas including Batamaloo, Safakadal, Soura, Pandach, Bemina, Shalteng, Lal Bazar, and Zadibal in Srinagar city.
During the operations, families were terrorized, household belongings were damaged, and valuables including money and expensive items were looted by the forces.
The searches targeted the residences of Hurriyat leaders, human rights defenders, and pro-freedom activists.
The Indian police claimed the raids were carried out in connection with investigations under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Local residents reported that during the raids, women and children were harassed, and several individuals were subjected to intense questioning.
They said such searches and harassment have intensified following the Indian-orchestrated false flag incident in Pahalgam, which has led to the arrest of thousands of Kashmiris and the demolition of dozens of homes.
