Srinagar, July 19
The counter-intelligence wing of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday raided 10 locations in different districts of Kashmir in connection with the investigations into a terror recruitment case.
Officials said that the Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) is carrying out searches at 10 locations in four places in the Valley in connection with the investigation into a terror recruitment case.
"These raids are part of an ongoing investigation into a terror crime case linked to a terrorist sleeper cell and recruitment module handled by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) commander, Abdullah Ghazi, from across the border.
"The places being raided are in Pulwama, Budgam, Ganderbal and Kangan areas," the officials said.
It must be mentioned that 'sleeper cells' is the name given by the authorities to those low-lying, normal-looking terrorists who are not actively involved in terrorism.
The terror commanders give sleeper cells weapons to undertake a specific terrorist act. After carrying out the crime, a terrorist belonging to the 'sleeper cell' dumps the weapon and resumes normal activities of life.
