JAMMU: The Counter-Intelligence wing, Jammu (CIJ) of Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday carried out a raid inside the high-security Kot Bhalwal district jail in Jammu.
The officials said that the CIJ raids are going on inside the Kot Bhalwal central jail, where some hardcore Pakistani and local terrorists, and notorious criminals are lodged.
“These raids are part of an operation to expose terror networks reportedly run from inside the prison, ” the officials said.
The raid inside the Kot Bhalwal jail comes in the backdrop of a major crackdown following the recent unearthing of a white collar terror network run by a group of doctors and the subsequent blast in a car in the Red Fort area of Delhi on November 10.
On Tuesday, the Kashmir wing of Counter-Intelligence (CIK) detained a local doctor, Umar Farooq Bhat and his wife, Shahzada Akhtar of Budgam village in Kulgam district, for questioning in connection with a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror outfit and the Dukhtaran-e-Millat women terror outfit linkage.
