The NIA  searched premises in Meerut and Saharanpur in UP; Goalpara in Assam; Aurangabad, Jalna, and Malegaon in Maharashtra;   Baramulla, Pulwama, and Ramban in Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi.

During the searches, NIA teams seized several incriminating documents, electronic devices, pamphlets, and magazines. These are being examined for further leads and evidence against the suspects whose premises were searched on Saturday.
