The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday conducted raids at 22 locations across the Valley as part of an ongoing probe into a cyber-terror case, officials said.
According to police, the operation marked a major crackdown on bank and digital “mule accounts” allegedly being used to channel proceeds of cyber fraud and finance terror activities, including terror funding and illicit transactions.
Officials said 15 of the 22 raided locations were in Srinagar city, while the remaining locations were spread across other parts of the Valley.

The raids were carried out simultaneously by multiple CIK teams with support from local police units.
While no official arrests were confirmed at the time of filing this report, sources said the searches focused on account holders, intermediaries, and suspected handlers of mule account networks. Seizures of digital devices, financial documents, and other evidentiary material were also reported, though details were not immediately disclosed.
“Further details are awaited,” officials said, adding that the investigation is in an advanced stage and more disclosures are expected following forensic and technical analysis. (KDC)
