Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Police’s State Investigation Agency (SIA) on Wednesday raided several locations in south Kashmir in the ongoing investigation into the killing of Kashmiri Pandit earlier this year, officials said.

Kashmiri Pandit Sanjay Sharma, who worked as an ATM guard, was shot dead by suspected militants in the Achan area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district on February 26.

Earlier this month SIA had raided nine locations in south Kashmir during the probe of the case.

On Wednesday, SIA Kashmir carried out raids in the three districts of South Kashmir including Pulwama, Shopian and Anantnag.

Officials said these searches were carried out in pursuance of search warrants issued by the Special Court.

The case of killing of Sharma was initially investigated by Pulwama Police and subsequently it was transferred to the SIA Kashmir.
