Curated summary

J&K police searched 26 locations linked to Jamaat-e-Islami J&K members and activists across Kashmir, saying the operation followed legal procedure and was aimed at tracing links to banned organizations, separatist activity and terror funding. The move follows the July 22 killing of a J&K police head constable in Anantnag, the first attack in Kashmir since the Pahalgam massacre in April 2025. A separate report in the same window says police also attached property worth Rs 70 lakh in a related crackdown.
