The Pakistani mastermind has been identified in full. His information, on the other hand, is being kept private so that other agents associated with him are unaware."

Digital Desk: The Jammu and Kashmir State Investigation Agency (SIA) discovered a link between terrorists and local support in the Union Territory and discovered that Pakistan's ISI was using Bitcoin trade to fund terrorism.

The SIA conducted searches in several locations across J&K today. Suspects' homes in Poonch, Baramulla, Kupwara, and Handwara were raided as part of an ongoing terror-funding investigation.

"Details that are being investigated at the initial stage include a mastermind in Pakistan, who has been pumping slush money to their agents in J&K for further distribution among terrorist organisations, secessionists, and fueling mass violence and terrorist activities in the UT with active support of Pakistani intelligence agencies and in connivance with proscribed terrorist organisations based in Pakistan," according to an official spokesperson for the SIA.

The Pakistani mastermind has been identified in full. His information, on the other hand, is being kept private so that other agents associated with him are unaware."

"A preliminary investigation revealed that dirty money from Pakistan had reached these individuals," said Zahida Bano of Hajinaka Manigah Hyhama, Kupwara, Mujataba Deedad of Lone Hari, Kupwara, Tamjeeda Begum of Satkoji Rajwara, Handwara, Yasir Ahmad Mir of Dewan Bagh Baramulla, Mohammad Sayed Masoodi of Trajpora, Baramulla, Far "The money transfer was layered, according to the investigation, to prevent backward tracing of its origin." While several accounts used to layer the money in the middle are located outside of J&K, the effective whitewashing of Pakistani money has occurred through the exploitation of loopholes in international Bitcoin trade," the spokesperson said.

Incriminating material believed to be hidden in digital devices, SIM cards, mobile phones, and documents relevant to the investigation was recovered and seized during today's searches.
