New Delhi/Srinagar: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday carried out raids at 23 places in Kashmir, Delhi and Haryana in connection with funding received from Pakistan for terror and violence in the Valley.
The raids were carried out following information received after the grilling of three separatist leaders Nayeem Khan, Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate and Gazi Javed Baba of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat. Searches and raids were carried out after registering an FIR. The separatists are allegedly receiving financial aid from Lashker-e-Tayyaba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed to carry out subversive activities, including stone-pelting, in Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued fresh summons to separatist leader Shabir Shah in connection with a case of money laundering registered against him for alleged terror financing. Sources revealed that the Centre was "no more interested" in “indulging” the separatists.
