NIA quizzes Hurriyat leaders after associate ‘confesses’ receiving Pak, LeT funds for Kashmir unrest

Date:

New Delhi: The Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday began its probe into allegations of funding by Pakistan to separatists in , a long-held assertion by Indian intelligence now ‘admitted' by a Hurriyat leader in a sting.

The sleuths from the NIA quizzed Hurriyat leaders for alleged “subversive acts in Kashmir with funds from Pakistan-based LeT terror group,” PTI reported.

Those who were being questioned include Farooq Ahmed Dar, alias Bitta Karate, and Gazi Javed Baba.

The news comes after Hurriyat suspended Naeem Khan from the organisation after he confessed to receiving money from Pakistan and LeT for Kashmir unrest.

Khan was heard admitting in a TV sting operation that he had received money from Pakistan to create unrest in the Valley.

He was reportedly summoned by Hurriyat Conference chief Syed Ali Shah Geelani to clarify on his statement before the suspension.

Khan, however, claimed that the sting operation was fake and doctored.

After the video surfaced, the NIA registered a preliminary probe against Khan, Tehreek-e-Hurriyat leader Gazi Javed Baba and Liberation Front (R) chairman Farooq Ahmed Dar.

Khan alleged the government is using the media to suppress his voice and said he is ready to face the probe.
