The Enforcement Directorate searched four premises in Srinagar on Tuesday as part of an ongoing terror financing investigation.
Why Did the ED Conduct the Searches?
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out searches at four locations in Srinagar on November 3, 2026, in connection with allegations of terror financing involving Umar Adil Dar, who is suspected of having links with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) organisation.
According to officials, Dar allegedly operated as an Over Ground Worker (OGW) for the outfit and was involved in activities associated with the organisation.
The searches form part of an ongoing investigation into suspected financial activities connected with the banned group.

What Are the Allegations Against Umar Adil Dar?
Officials said Dar and his associates had previously been apprehended while allegedly carrying a substantial amount of cash and incriminating literature associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba.
An official also stated that Dar had earlier spent approximately four years in jail over his alleged involvement in separatist and anti-India activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
The allegations concerning his suspected activities and financial connections are now part of the ED’s investigation.
What Is the ED Investigating?
The agency is examining suspected proceeds of crime and attempting to identify financial networks and channels allegedly used to support terror-related activities.
Officials said the searches are intended to establish how suspected funds moved through these networks and whether individuals associated with the alleged activities maintained financial connections with handlers across the border.
Investigators are also seeking additional evidence that could help establish the nature and extent of the suspected financing arrangements.
The inquiry includes examining possible links between individuals involved in handling funds and those allegedly directing activities connected with the banned organisation.
What Happens Next in the Investigation?
The searches were continuing when the information was reported, and officials had not disclosed further findings from the operations.
Details concerning any financial recoveries, seized documents or additional individuals under investigation were not immediately available.
The ED’s investigation remains focused on tracing suspected proceeds of crime, identifying financial channels and examining alleged cross-border connections.
The available information does not establish the amount of money involved in the suspected terror financing activities or confirm the outcome of the searches.
Further details are awaited as the agency continues its investigation into the allegations.
