Srinagar: Jammu & Kashmir Police’s State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Thursday raided the Kashmir Times office in Jammu, alleging that the newspaper has been involved in “anti-national activities” and spreading disaffection against the country.
The agency has also reportedly registered an FIR naming the paper’s Executive Editor Anuradha Bhasin in connection with the allegations.
Sources said the SIA teams entered the newspaper office early in the morning and conducted an extensive search aimed at examining Bhasin’s “alleged links and activities that threaten the sovereignty of India.”
Witnesses said investigators scrutinised documents, computers and other digital devices.
“The officers were inside for a considerable time and checked multiple sections of the office,” reports said.
