Shopian: The State Investigative Agency (SIA) raided the residence of religious preacher Sarjan Barkati in south Kashmir’s Shopian district on Wednesday.
According to reports, SIA, along with J&K Police and CRPF, is conducting the raid.
The raid is currently underway, and further details are awaited.
Barkati, also known as “Azadi Chacha,” gained prominence in 2016 for his poetic sloganeering.
He was
arrested in August last year by SIA for his alleged involvement in orchestrating an extensive fund-raising campaign through crowdfunding to promote ‘radicalism.’
