Suspect Detained in Connection with Radical Social Media Activity

Srinagar, 08 August 2026: During scrutiny of social media activity by Counter

Intelligence Kashmir (CIK), one suspect, identified as Siraj Nabi Parray, resident of  Archanderhama, Magam Budgam, was found to be operating a social media account through which radical content of a potentially extremist nature was being disseminated. During scrutiny of the account, various posts, images and other digital material

having radical and anti-national overtones were noticed. The material included content

relating to radical narratives, glorification and projection of individuals associated with

terrorism, propagation of extremist viewpoints, and narratives capable of influencing  or radicalising impressionable persons.

The suspect was subsequently brought before the Executive Magistrate 1st  Class and proceedings under U/S 126/170 BNSS were initiated against him.

Thereafter, on the orders of the Executive Magistrate, the suspect has been remanded

to judicial custody and lodged in Central Jail, Srinagar, for the period from 08 August

2026 to 17 August 2026. Further examination of the digital device and associated

social media activity is being undertaken to ascertain the nature and extent of the

online activity, sources and dissemination of the radical material, associated accounts

and contacts, and any possible linkages requiring further investigation.

The general public, especially parents and young social-media user are advised

to remain alert and use social-media platforms responsibly. People should avoid

sharing or forwarding content that glorifies terrorism, promotes extremist ideas,

encourages violence or hatred or attempts to influence or radicalise. Social Media

users should also avoid engaging with suspicious accounts or unknown persons who

circulate such content. Moreover, any suspicious or extremist content on social-media

platforms should be reported to police instead of forwarding or further circulating such

material.
