The National Investigation Agency teams are carrying out raids at 12 places in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla, Handwara and Srinagar in connection with its terror funding and civil unrest probe involving Hurriyat leaders.
Sources say that fresh raids have been carried out on those people who have financial links with the pro-Pakistani Hurriyat leaders including Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
The names of these persons have been disclosed by seven separatists, who were arrested by the agency last month for allegedly organising the funds and civil unrest in the valley.
NIA has already arrested Altaf Ahmad Shah “Funtoosh”, Naeem Khan, Akbar Khandey, Raja Mehrajuddin, Farooq Dar, Shahid Ul Islam and Peer Saifullah during its probe while Syed Ali Shah Geelani’s sons – Naeem and Naseem Geelani were last week questioned.
Sources say that next in line for questioning is senior leader Geelani himself.
