Jammu and Kashmir’s security forces have expanded their investigation into terror financing following the successful disruption of a major ‘white-collar’ terror module. The focus has now shifted to how private citizens and charitable institutions might be co-opted into supporting illegal activities. Baramulla police are examining the Al Huda Educational Trust and Idarah Fallah-u-Darain Society for suspected financial wrongdoing, including tax evasion and violations of FCRA guidelines. The Al Huda Educational Institute is under preliminary inquiry for alleged regulatory non-adherence and unauthorized construction on public land, with a case filed at PS Tangmarg. The Idarah Fallah-u-Darain Society has been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) due to allegations of engaging in illegal operations. The investigation involves raids, detentions for questioning, and the seizure of electronic devices, underscoring the serious nature of the probe. These actions are vital for preventing the spread of terror networks and maintaining peace in the region. The authorities assure that all investigations will be conducted thoroughly, leading to appropriate legal consequences. This broad-based approach, targeting various potential avenues of terror support, follows closely on the heels of intelligence-led operations and proactive security measures across Kashmir.
