Police in Indian-controlled Kashmir raided bookstores and seized 668 books linked to a major Islamic organization in the disputed region, where strict controls on the press have escalated in recent years.
The raids began on Friday in Srinagar, the region’s main city. Police said in a post on the social media platform X that they acted “based on credible intelligence regarding the clandestine sale and distribution of literature promoting the ideology of a banned organization."
