Srinagar: The Counter Intelligence Kashmir (CIK) unit of the police conducted raids at the Central Jail in Srinagar on Wednesday, officials told PTI.

The CIK team secured the Rainawari-based jail before dawn and carried out a thorough search of the barracks, they added.

The operation follows recent clashes between two groups of inmates in September, the news agency report mentioned.

In 2018, mobile phones were seized from prisoners, leading to tightened security measures within the facility.
