Terror and hawala: Three convicted
A Delhi Court has convicted three persons in a 2011 terror funding case and sentenced them for the period already undergone.
District Judge Poonam A Bamba held Mohd Sadiq Ginai, Ghulam Jeelani Liloo and Farooq Ahmed Dagga guilty in the case.
According
to
the
prosecution,
the
trio
collected
funds
from
Pakistan
through
illegal
hawala
channels
to
be
sent
to
Jammu
and
Kashmir
for
promoting
unlawful
activities
in
the
state.
The
court
had
in
2012
framed
charges
against
them
under
various
sections
of
the
Unlawful
Activities
(Prevention)
Act.
The NIA had in 2011 filed the charge sheet against the trio, indicting them for collection more than Rs 4.57 crore from Pakistan through hawala channels within three years for funding terrorist activities in the Valley.
The NIA had said Ganai developed a close relationship with one Delhi-based Raj Kumar and his brother-in-law Rajeev Nankani and motivated them to collect money on their behalf from hawala operatives.
