His statements are crucial especially regarding the funding as he was the treasurer of the SIMI in 2007. He knows the source of funds, an NIA official part of the probe told OneIndia.

Qureshi was brought to Kochi as part of the Wagamon SIMI camp case last month and has been lodged at Viyyoor Central Jail.The SIMI camp was held at Thangalpara near Wagamon in December 2007. It was at this camp that the SIMI decided to launch attacks across the country. Investigators say that the birth of the Indian Mujahideen too was plotted in this camp.
