The NIA sleuths along with the personnel of In-dian Central Reserve Police Force raided and searched houses of Farooq Ahmad Butt, Zubair Ahmad Dar and Ali Mohammad Dar in Aripathen area of Badgam district. The raids were conducted in connection with a case registered by the NIA under draconian law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
