Probe Widens in J&K After ‘White-Collar’ Terror Arrest

In the wake of a significant ‘white-collar’ terror module bust, authorities in Jammu and Kashmir are now meticulously scrutinizing the potential involvement of private citizens and the exploitation of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). The Baramulla police are actively investigating financial and operational irregularities at two educational trusts, the Al Huda Educational Trust and the Idarah Fallah-u-Darain Society. Concerns include potential tax evasion and breaches of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA). A preliminary investigation has been initiated into the Al Huda Educational Institute concerning suspected regulatory non-compliance and alleged construction on government land. This matter has been registered at the Tangmarg police station. Separately, the Idarah Fallah-u-Darain Society is facing charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for purported illegal activities, with an FIR lodged at the Baramulla police station. Several individuals have been detained for questioning, and electronic equipment has been seized as part of coordinated raids. These operations are crucial components of the larger strategy to dismantle terror networks and their support structures in the region. Law enforcement remains committed to thorough investigations and will pursue legal action accordingly. The current focus on NGOs and individuals is a direct consequence of the recent success in uncovering the ‘white-collar’ terror operation, complementing earlier security measures like hospital locker inspections and chemical shop surveillance.
