Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted raids at multiple locations in Srinagar and Sopore on Tuesday, targeting the residences of several separatist leaders, most of whom are currently imprisoned.

Police  officials said, the searches were part of ongoing investigations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The case involves members of banned organizations, including the Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference (Bhat Group), Jammu and Kashmir Muslim League (Masrat Alam Group), and Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (Shabir Shah Group).

Police said that the raids were conducted with proper legal authorization and were aimed at suspected members of these groups for their alleged involvement in unlawful activities. The searches took place in several areas of Srinagar, including Rajbagh, Habba Kadal, Batamaloo, Khanyar, Lal Bazar, and Chanpora, in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and independent witnesses.

Residences linked to prominent separatist leaders such as Masrat Alam, Shabir Shah, and Professor Gani were among those searched. Authorities have not yet disclosed further details regarding the outcome of the raids.
