Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have intensified a sweeping crackdown on a sophisticated “white-collar terror module” linked to the recent Delhi suicide blast, conducting simultaneous raids on prisons, hospitals, and chemical outlets across the Union Territory. The operations, led by the Counter Intelligence Kashmir wing, aim to dismantle support networks that allegedly facilitated the movement of explosives and the radicalisation of new recruits.

In a major escalation, elite teams raided high-security prisons including Central Jail Srinagar, Kot Bhalwal Jail in Jammu, District Jail Kupwara, and Poonch Jail, where hundreds of Kashmiri and Pakistani militants are lodged. Every barrack was thoroughly searched for contraband mobile phones, incriminating documents, and other communication devices. Authorities have now ordered strict segregation of inmates to prevent jailed militants from coordinating with external handlers or indoctrinating fellow prisoners.

Hospitals and medical institutions have come under unprecedented scrutiny following intelligence that several doctors and healthcare workers maintained direct links with the Delhi blast perpetrators. Joint teams of police and health department officials inspected staff lockers, duty rooms, and storage areas in government hospitals, private clinics, medical colleges, and Primary Health Centres across Kashmir Valley to detect any suspicious activity or prohibited material.

The seizure of nearly three tonnes of ammonium nitrate and other explosives from the terror module has triggered a Valley-wide operation targeting chemical, fertiliser, and hardware stores. Police teams are verifying licences, stock registers, invoices, and end-user certificates to trace the supply chain that allegedly channelled restricted chemicals to militant groups. Non-compliant dealers face immediate sealing of premises and legal action.

These coordinated raids mark one of the most extensive counter-terror drives in recent months, reflecting growing concern over the emergence of educated professionals and urban networks providing logistical and ideological support to militant organisations. Security agencies maintain that disrupting these hidden modules remains critical to preventing future attacks on the Indian mainland.
