This is the fourth arrest in the case. The NIA has been investigating a case of terror funding and said that the money would come in through hawala channels. The funds were being used for nefarious activities in India. The intent was to cause unrest in the country and the accused were in close contact with members of the FIF, the NIA also said.

NIA officials say that they are investigating the larger conspiracy and more arrests are likely.
