Srinagar: The Kashmir Times office in Jammu was raided by the State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Thursday amidst its ongoing probe into the Delhi Red Fort car blast and the multi-state Jaish-e-Mohammed
(JeM) "doctor terror" network.The SIA raided Kashmir Times office for allegedly promoting activities against the country and recovered cartridges of AK rifles and some rounds of pistol, among other things.Officials said that SIA sleuths conducted a thorough search of the newspaper's premises and computers after a case was registered against the publication and its promoters.The promoters of the publication are likely to be questioned, they informed.Reacting to the raid, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Singh Choudhary said action should follow only in cases where wrongdoing is established and not for the sake of pressure."If they have done something wrong, then action should be taken...if you do it only to (build) pressure, then that will be wrong", Choudhary told reporters.This is not the first time the publication has come under the scanner. Earlier, raids were conducted at its office over allegations of publishing "anti-national content".The office, located in Press Enclave on Residency Road, Srinagar, had reportedly been briefly sealed in 2020, and the paper had not been in circulation for the past few months.
