Sopore, Sept 19: Continuing its crackdown on separatist-terror networks, Sopore Police on Friday conducted a search operation in connection with FIR No. 33/2025 registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

Officials said that the search was carried out at the residence of Ghulam Ahmad Rather, a resident of Saidpora, Sopore, in the presence of an Executive Magistrate to ensure complete legal compliance and transparency.
