SRINAGAR, Oct, 28: In an early morning swoopdown, the National Investigative Agency (NIA) on Wednesday carried out raids at multiple locations in the Valley to probe the alleged hawala terror funding.

Meanwhile, the residence of human rights activist Khuram Parvez at Sonwar was also raided by the investigating agency.
In Bandipora, NIA raided the residential house of a Hurriyat activist namely Mohammad Yousuf Sofi of Brar, Bandipora.
The raids are being conducted as part of a new case registered by NIA related to certain NGOs allegedly raising funds for separatist activities, sources said.
Pertinently, the anti-terror probe agency is investigating cases related to terror funding in Kashmir through hawala channels. The agency has carried out a series of raids on separatists, their sympathizers and some businessmen in the last more than three years.
The crackdown by the NIA on alleged terror funding to separatist leaders and their sympathizers has caused a significant dent into their activities in Kashmir. Incidents of street protests, violence, the local recruitment of youth into terrorism in Kashmir have reduced drastically due to the "effective" action of security forces and probe agencies against separatists and their sympathizers. |
