NIA Conducts Searches In Two J&K Locations In Terror Funding Case

New Delhi, August 14 (TNA) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday searched two locations in Srinagar and Handwara districts of J&K in a terror funding case relating to "The Resistance Front" (TRF) - a proxy outfit of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Both LeT and TRF are proscribed terrorist organisations.

Two persons were earlier arrested in the case by the state police. The searches, conducted at the houses of arrested persons, led to the seizure of crucial documents related to the case, which NIA took over from the state police in May 2025.

During the investigation, NIA had uncovered a foreign trail of funds, which is being probed extensively. Investigations have further revealed that local youth were being instigated into anti-national activities and were being funded by the terror outfits. The counter-terror agency is continuing with its investigation.
