Intent:

After proper research, analysis and fact-checking, we have discovered that the terrorists’ residences in the Awantipora neighbourhood of Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district were attached by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday. These residences included both single- and double-storey homes. Common residential buildings are unrelated to it.
Conclusion:
Claim : Reports have surfaced that the NIA has attached a residential house in Awantipora, south Kashmir.
Fact : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) attached two residential buildings, including double-storey and single-storey houses, belonging to terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Thursday. It has nothing to do with common residential buildings.
