The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today arrested Hurriyat leaders Naeem Khan, Bitta Karate among seven others in connection with Pakistan terror funding case exposed by the India Today a few days ago.
The Hurriyat leaders arrested are: Naeem Khan, Bitta Karate, Sahid-ul- Islam, Altaf Fantoss, son-in-law of Syed Ali Shah Geelani; Meharajudeen, Peer Saifullah and Ayaz Akbar.
The arrest of the separatist leaders come after the NIA conducted several rounds of interrogation following India Today's Operation Villains of Valley - The Hurriyat Tapes.
The investigative report, aired on May 16, had clinching evidence of Pakistan's state and non-state actors, including Hafiz Saeed, choreographing anarchy through their agents in the Kashmir Valley.
Several top Kashmiri separatists were caught on camera confessing to receiving funds from across the border.
Some of them also admitted they raised money domestically, pledging to repeat the deadly events of 2016 if financed again. The stunning probe that rips apart the devious designs of anti-India forces in Kashmir includes Hurriyat's Provincial President (Geelani Faction) Naeem Khan, Tehreek-E-Hurriyat's leader Gazi Javed Baba, and JKLF chairman Farooq Ahmed Dar (Bitta Karate).
The investigation traced the terror funding trail. Hurriyat leader Naeem Khan stealthily travelled down to Delhi to meet India Today reporters, who posed as potential funders.
He made startling disclosures on how Pakistan is funneling hundreds of crores to the Hurriyat to plunge Jammu and Kashmir into its worst unrest in decades.
