The home of a member of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), Gul Mohammad War is also raided.

Last month, in a Home Ministry review there was a discussion about the growing influence of Jamaat-e-Islami, an outfit that was banned in 2019.

Home Minister Amit Shah had asked security forces to take action in order to stop radicalisation of youth.

On July 10, the investigating agency had arrested six people from across Jammu and Kashmir in connection with a terror funding case.

The raids came a day after eleven employees of the J&K government were sacked for having terror links. Among those dismissed were two sons of terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen founder Syed Salahudin.
