The searches were conducted in the Anantnag, Pulwama, Budgam, Kulgam, and Kupwara districts, officials said

The raids targeted residential premises and other locations linked to JeI members and their associates as part of the ongoing efforts to dismantle the terror ecosystem and its support structures, officials added

The action followed credible intelligence suggesting that some JeI members were involved in anti-national activities, they said. Electronic devices, documents and literature were seized from the houses of individuals linked to the outfit and associated institutions

In north Kashmir's Kupwara district, searches were also carried out at the Jamia Islamia Institute in Waripora, Handwara, based on information indicating suspected unlawful activities and possible links with JeI 

All recovered material has been seized for detailed scrutiny, according to officials. J&K Police carried out raids at multiple locations across the Kashmir Valley as part of its crackdown on the banned Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI)
