CIK secures arrest warrants against UJC chief, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen operatives

In a major pre-dawn crackdown, the Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday launched a sweeping operation targeting a network of mule bank accounts allegedly involved in cyber fraud and terror financing. The coordinated action saw raids carried out at more than 22 locations in Srinagar, with several additional searches conducted across various districts of the Kashmir Valley.Acting on specific intelligence inputs, the CIK carried out simultaneous raids at multiple locations in a coordinated effort to dismantle the financial backbone of cyber terror modules. Sources familiar with the investigation said the mule bank accounts often operated by unsuspecting individuals or coerced locals were being used to channel illicit funds, facilitating terror-related activities as well as large-scale online fraud targeting victims across the country.The raids, conducted as part of an ongoing cyber terror investigation, led to the seizure of crucial digital evidence, including electronic devices, banking documents, and detailed transaction records. While no arrests were confirmed immediately, officials said several suspects have come under the scanner, with search operations still underway. &nbsp;The operation underscores the CIK’s intensified focus on countering hybrid threats that combine cybercrime with terrorism, an emerging and growing challenge in Jammu and Kashmir amid increasing digital radicalisation. Similar crackdowns in recent months have led to the disruption of terror financing networks, with investigators uncovering and freezing crores of rupees linked to suspicious transactions. &nbsp;

CIK conducts widespread raids across Kashmir over suspected online misuse

In a major breakthrough, Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) has dismantled a dangerous online radicalisation network, saving two impressionable youths from being lured into terrorism. The operation, marked by exceptional cyber intelligence and swift action, exposed a sophisticated digital propaganda campaign orchestrated by a Pakistan-based handler linked to The Resistance Front (TRF).Acting on precise intelligence and rigorous cyber surveillance, CIK uncovered two social media accounts—‘faithful_warrior57’ and ‘Gurkboru.08’—actively promoting terrorist ideologies. These handles were found glorifying violence, sharing propaganda materials, including audio clips of known terrorists, and inciting secessionist sentiments to radicalise vulnerable youth.Following meticulous technical analysis, CIK identified the operators as two juveniles: Hashim Mashood Lone, 17, from Khawjabagh, Maloora, and Mohammad Hazik Ahanger, 15, from Railway Colony, Nowgam. Forensic examination of Hashim’s mobile device confirmed his operation of ‘Gurkboru.08’, revealing he was acting under the guidance of a Pakistan-based propagandist known as ‘Saqib’ (real name Ahmad Salar). Salar, a TRF operative, used encrypted communication tools and VPNs to manipulate the youths through ideological grooming and false promises. Hazik, behind ‘faithful_warrior57’, was similarly ensnared through emotional manipulation and extremist conditioning.CIK’s swift intervention disrupted the network, preventing the recruitment of the two minors and neutralising a growing threat to community safety. Beyond operational success, CIK demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility by organising counselling sessions with the juveniles’ families, community elders, and religious scholars. These sessions focused on educating the youths and their guardians about the dangers of radicalisation and the importance of responsible online behaviour.The operation underscores CIK’s expertise in countering digital extremism while fostering community trust. Authorities have urged parents, educators, and religious leaders across Jammu and Kashmir to remain vigilant and report suspicious online activities. CIK reaffirmed its dedication to safeguarding young minds, preserving peace, and ensuring the region’s security.
