Srinagar, Dec 4, KNT: The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police launched an extensive search operation at Central Jail Srinagar on Tuesday morning as part of an ongoing investigation into suspected links of some inmates with anti-national elements.
Sources said that this operation aims to uncover crucial evidence, curb illicit activities, and prevent the misuse of communication devices, such as mobile phones, within the high-security prison.
They said a team from CIK assisted by jail authorities is searching multiple barracks, and initial reports indicate the recovery of several mobile phones used for unauthorized communication.
“The jail authorities are collaborating closely with CIK to ensure a thorough investigation,” official sources said adding that the raid comes amidst the CIK’s recent searches across ten locations in Kashmir, resulting in the detention of seven suspects. [KNT]
