Srinagar(Jammu and Kashmir): The Jammu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) Kashmir raided a residential house in Srinagar on Saturday in connection with the 2013 killing of four policemen in Baramulla's Hygam village of Sopore town, sources said.
According to official sources, the raid took place at the house of one Ahamadullah Malla, son of Abdul Ahad, in Dalal Mohalla, Nawab Bazar in downtown Srinagar. The searches are part of FIR No. 42 of 2013, originally filed at Tarzoo Sopore police station, now under SIA Kashmir's jurisdiction.
The operation was carried out under search warrants issued by the Special Court, an official said. Initially registered by Sopore Police, the case was later transferred to SIA Kashmir for further investigation.
