The State Investigation Agency (SIA), a newly-formed investigating body on the lines of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has carried out multiple raids in Kashmir valley and arrested 10 alleged militant supporters of the Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM), officials said on Wednesday.
An official spokesman said the 10 were working as Over Ground Workers (OGWs), a term used by the security agencies in Kashmir for those who support militancy, during raids in south and central Kashmir. “These raids were primarily focused on the network of the JeM. Ten persons, who were part of the OGW modules and taking instructions from [JeM] commanders, have been arrested,” the officials said.
