🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: Srinagar Police in Kashmir Conducts Extensive District-Wide Operations; Nearly 700 OGWs Detained Srinagar, July 22, 2026 : In a major security operation aimed at dismantling the ecosystem supporting terrorism, Srinagar Police conducted extensive district-wide raids across multiple locations following the recent terror incident in Anantnag. The coordinated operations, carried out on the basis of credible intelligence and as part of an ongoing investigation, resulted in the detention of nearly *700 suspected Over Ground Workers (OGWs)* for questioning and verification in accordance with established legal procedures. The operations have been undertaken with the objective of identifying and neutralising networks that provide logistical, financial, communication, transportation, shelter, and other forms of support to terrorist organisations. Searches have been conducted at several locations across the district to gather evidence, identify suspects, and prevent any attempts by terrorist elements and their facilitators to carry out unlawful activities. This ongoing exercise also serves as a preventive measure to maintain public order, enhance security, and deter anti-national elements from exploiting the prevailing situation. Srinagar Police remains steadfast in safeguarding the lives and security of citizens and ensuring that those involved in supporting terrorism are identified and brought to justice. Such intelligence-led operations will continue in close coordination with other security and intelligence agencies to eliminate the terror-supporting ecosystem. Srinagar Police reaffirm their unwavering commitment to preserving peace, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring that every possible measure is taken to protect the safety and security of the people.
