Terror funding case: NIA raids houses of two separatists in Kashmir

Aga Hassan, the former president of Anjuman-e-Shar-e-Shian, had joined Geelani-led Hurriyat Conference in 2015.

The NIA on Thursday raided the house of separatist leader Shabbir Shah's aide Zameer Thakur in connection with the terror funding case.

Earlier today, NIA raided Hurriyat leader Aga Hassan's residence in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam. The NIA has been probing several separatist leaders in the terror funding case.

Aga Hassan is said to be close to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.

The NIA on Wednesday conducted raids at 11 locations in Srinagar and 5 in Delhi in connection with the Hurriyat Terror Funding case. The raids are being conducted to unearth documents following the second round of investigations that took place.

On Friday a photo journalist from Kashmir was arrested by the National Investigation Agency on the charge that he was involved in incidents of stone pelting. Kamran Yousuf, the journalist was arrested along with Javed Bhat from Kulgam by the NIA.

Aga Hassan, the former president of Anjuman-e-Shar-e-Shian, had joined Geelani-led Hurriyat Conference in 2015.

Last month, the NIA has unearthed incriminating documents pertaining to Zahoor Watali, who was arrested by the investigating agency earlier. The seized documents reportedly contain details of Watali's financial transactions which can significantly strengthen NIA's case against Watali.
