The Kashmir Times office raid in Jammu on Thursday created a major stir after the State Investigation Agency (SIA) uncovered several suspicious items. The Kashmir Times office raid took place following allegations that the publication promoted activities against the country, prompting officials to conduct an extensive search.
A team from the SIA entered the premises early in the day and inspected the newsroom, computers, and storage areas. Officers said they recovered AK rifle cartridges, pistol rounds, and hand-grenade pins during the operation. The discovery increased concerns about possible misuse of the media platform.
Investigators also checked digital files and communication records to trace any links between the seized items and the publication’s promoters. Officials stated that the promoters will face questioning to clarify their role and explain how such materials reached the office.
The raid has triggered a wide debate in the region, especially among media groups that seek clarity on the charges. Authorities said they want a transparent investigation and added that evidence collection will continue. More developments are expected as the case progresses.
