    The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday with the assistance of Jammu and Kashmir Police and CRPF carried out searches at eight locations in Anantnag, Baramulla, Kulgam, Srinagar, Doda and Kistwar districtions of J& K in connection with Bathindi IED recovery case.

    The case was initially registered on June 27 in Jammu relating to recovery of five kgs IED from a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist in Bathindi, Jammu. The agency, in a release, said that the conspiracy by LeT was aimed at causing explosion in Jammu using the IED. NIA had re-registered the case in July after taking over the case from Jammu and Kashmir Police. The agency had earlier made arrests in the case.

    The agency said that its probe revealed that Pakistan based handlers of proscribed terror outfit LeT and their associates based in J&K are planning terrorist activists in J&K using the pseduo acronym TRF so as to maintain plausible deniability and evade adverse action.

    The agency claims to have recovered many digital devices and other "incriminating materials" during the searches conducted on Tuesday.
