The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at the homes of alleged suspects in a cross-border commerce and terror financing case in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday.
The NIA had conducted searches at three locations earlier in the day on Wednesday.
It has not, however, issued an official comment on the subject.

According to an Agency source, the search operations were carried out at the homes of suspected cross-LoC dealers and their associates.
The issue concerns the development of additional revenues through cross-LoC trade between J&K and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, as well as the use of cash produced through this technique to promote terrorist actions.
The claimed trade began in 2008 at two trade facilitation centres in Salamabad, Uri, Baramulla district, and Chakan-da-Bagh, Poonch district. The trade, however, has been halted since April 2019.
