SIA raids Srinagar outskirts under black law UAPA
Joint forces launch sweeping search operations in Doda, Kishtwar
Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the State Investigation Agency (SIA), backed by Indian police, conducted a raid in the outskirts of Srinagar, further tightening the noose around civilians under the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the SIA team raided a residential house of a jailed youth in Bonpora area of Nowgam, Srinagar.
The raid was carried out in connection with a fake case, registered by the SIA under the UAPA—widely criticised by human rights organisations as a black law used to silence political dissent in the occupied territory. Indian police sealed off the area during the operation and subjected the locality to restrictions, checkpoints, vehicular searches and body searches, creating fear among residents.
Meanwhile, Indian forces have launched massive cordon and search operations in the Bhalesa and other areas of Doda and Kisthwar districts.
Joint contingents of the Indian Army and other forces initiated search operations in the dense forests of the Bhalesa belt in Doda district.
Similar operations were also underway in the forests of Kishtwar district, where Indian army units have extended their movement to higher reaches, further escalating fear and anxiety among local residents living in and around these areas.
Observers and civil rights groups say these repeated raids, arrests and seizures reflect India’s broader policy of repression in IIOJK, aimed at stifling the Kashmiri people’s legitimate political aspirations and resistance to decades-long occupation. They have urged the international community to take serious notice of the misuse of UAPA and escalating state terrorism in the territory.
