NIA conducts raids in south Kashmir's Shoipan in DSP Davinder Singh case
Srinagar/UNI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday carried out fresh raids in south Kashmir district of Shopian in connection with the case involving DSP Davinder Singh, who was arrested along with two top Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terrorists last month.
The development comes a day after a 20-member NIA team arrived in Kashmir to collect more evidence against Davinder Singh whose arrest shook the security agencies in Jammu & Kashmir and the Centre.
Official sources told UNI that raids were conducted in Shopian district. "A team led by a DIG rank officer went to Anantnag on Saturday and held a meeting with the police officials," sources added.
Singh is currently being questioned in Jammu by the NIA officials after getting his transit remand.
The DySP was arrested by J&K police on the 280-km-long national highway while transporting three people, including two HM commanders Naveed Babu and Rafi Ahmed, to Jammu on January 11.
Multiple raids were conducted by J&K police at his residences in the valley after his arrest. But, after initial investigations by the J&K police, the case was handed over to the NIA.
Singh was an officer in anti-hijacking wing of J&K police at Srinagar International Airport, and was part of the security staff that received a group of foreign ambassadors, including US ambassador, who visited Kashmir last month.
