Jammu & Kashmir: Terror Module Bust Sparks NGO and Citizen Probe

The recent apprehension of a sophisticated ‘white-collar’ terror module in Jammu and Kashmir has prompted a thorough investigation into the potential misuse of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and private citizens by anti-national elements. Law enforcement in Baramulla has launched inquiries into financial and operational discrepancies within two educational trusts, Al Huda Educational Trust and Idarah Fallah-u-Darain Society. Allegations include tax evasion and non-compliance with the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA). The Baramulla police are conducting a preliminary probe into Al Huda Educational Institute, examining reports of regulatory violations and unauthorized construction on government land. This inquiry has been registered at PS Tangmarg. In parallel, the Idarah Fallah-u-Darain Society is under investigation for alleged unlawful activities through a case filed under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) at Baramulla police station. Coordinated raids have been conducted, and electronic gadgets have been confiscated as the investigation deepens. These measures are integral to the ongoing strategy to neutralize terror ecosystems and ensure regional stability. The authorities are committed to taking appropriate legal action based on the evidence gathered. This comprehensive crackdown follows other recent security initiatives, such as surprise checks on hospital lockers and increased surveillance of chemical and fertilizer vendors to prevent their diversion for illegal purposes.
