The NIA had registered a suo-moto case regarding "the funding pattern and activities of Al Huda Educational Trust, which is functioning as a frontal entity for Jamaat-e-Islami J&K", they said.
Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir was banned for five years in 2019 on grounds that it was "in close touch" with terror outfits, the report said.
Sources said multiple teams of the NIA carried out these raids based on specific inputs. The raids were conducted in coordination with Jammu and Kashmir Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).
