The development comes a day after the NIA conducted raids at four places in Jammu Kashmir including three locations in Baramulla and one in Handwara district in the cross LoC Trade and militant funding case.

The raids were carried out at the premises of suspected cross LoC traders and connected persons, and the NIA claimed to have seized digital devices along with incriminating documents during these searches.

The case pertains to the generation of additional profits through a cross LoC trade mechanism between Jammu Kashmir and Pakistan and using funds so generated for fomenting militancy activities in Jammu Kashmir.

The trade was started in the year 2008 via two Trade Facilitation Centres (TFCs) located at Salamabad, Uri in Baramulla District and Chakan-da-Bagh in Poonch district.

The trade has been suspended since the month of April 2019. The case was registered suo-moto by NIA on December 16, 2016. (ANI)
