The sweeping raids were conducted in the districts of Srinagar, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kulgam, Budgam, Anantnag, and Pulwama.
A newly formed terror group, called Tehreek Labaik Ya Muslim (TLM), was dismantled after multiple raids across several districts of Jammu and Kashmir today. The Counter-Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) wing of the J&K Police carried out the anti-terror raids with the authorities claiming that TLM is an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), allegedly being operated under the guidance of a Pakistani handler, identified by the alias 'Baba Hamas'.
The sweeping raids were conducted in the districts of Srinagar, Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kulgam, Budgam, Anantnag, and Pulwama. According to the police, the primary objective was to neutralise a recruitment module within the TLM that was actively involved in mobilising young men for militant activities. The group is believed to have been behind a surge in recruitment in recent months.
The operation follows closely on the heels of a terror attack in Ganderbal district, which left seven people dead. Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha confirmed the involvement of two foreign terrorists, possibly infiltrators from the Bandipora region in North Kashmir, in the Ganderbal attack.
