He also said that the money was being sent to him on the instructions of his father Salauddin.

With several names cropping up, the NIA is now verifying the claims made by Yousuf. Further the NIA has learnt that Yousuf was given money transfer codes by Bhat. He used these codes to collect the money and pass it on those people who would create violence on the streets of the Valley.
