Praveen Nettaru murder: NIA conducted searches at 33 locations in Mysuru, Kodagu and Dakshina Kannada districts of Karnataka in connection with the killing of Praveen Nettaru.
NIA raids today have led to the seizure of incriminating documents/material.
The case was initially registered on January 21 at the Tipa police station in Saiha district and was re-registered by the NIA on March 21.
The raids were learnt to be conducted mainly at locations of suspects in south Kashmir with the assistance of Jammu and Kashmir Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.

Similar raids were carried out by the agency two months back on the houses and offices of prominent JeI leaders. After carrying out the raids, those involved were summoned to appear before the NIA in Delhi.
Earlier on Sunday, the NIA arrested three people over their alleged association with the banned terror organisation Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), an official said.

A team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is currently conducting raids at 4 different locations in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir. The NIA raids are being conducted in a terror funding case.

Declaring suspects as terrorists "on the basis of sutli bombs" and associating them with the ISIS was premature, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said on Friday.
