NIA searches two Anantnag houses in terror case
The Hindu··23 Aug
On 22 August 2026, the National Investigation Agency searched two residential houses in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district as part of a terror case. Officials said the locations were in Bijbehara and Dooru in south Kashmir. Jammu and Kashmir Police accompanied the teams. Details of any seizure or arrest were not released the same morning.

What It Means For You
- If you live in SICOP Bijbehara or Kreeri in Dooru, Saturday's action was a house search in an existing NIA terror file, not a new public curfew order.
- Anyone waiting on arrest news should note officials said the outcome was still awaited on the morning the searches were reported.
- If you follow the wider Kashmir probe, this Anantnag pair is separate from the larger multi-district search list reported the same weekend.
What's Happening
- The Hindu and Economic Times carried the same PTI brief: two houses, two locations, police in support, outcome pending.
- ETV Bharat said it was not yet clear whether any person had been arrested or any object seized.
- The Times of India added that CRPF was part of the Bijbehara SICOP team.
Why Two South Kashmir Houses Were Named
- Anantnag is the south Kashmir district that includes both Bijbehara and the Dooru tehsil.
- SICOP is an industrial-area locality in Bijbehara; Kreeri is a village under Dooru.
- The NIA often withholds the case title until a charge sheet or a later press note, which is why Saturday's brief stayed generic.
