In a headway that may help it get an insight into the funding pattern of separatist groups in Jammu and Kashmir, NIA has taken the custody of dreaded Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Mohammed Shafi Shah.
Shah alias Dawood, a resident of Bandipore in north Kashmir, was brought from Kashmir last week after NIA secured his police remand till 17 June, official sources said.
NIA has already declared Syed Salahuddin, chief of Hizbul Mujahideen, as a proclaimed offender in the case which relates to his outfit as one of the most active terror groups in J-K with strong bases in Pulwama, Kupwara, Sopore, Budgam, Doda, Baramula and Srinagar.
He was arrested by J-K police in 2011 and lodged in jail on charges of being an aide of Salahuddin, the sources said, adding his questioning may help the agency in finding more clues in this case.
The NIA said in its case that the terror group was being regularly and systematically funded from across the border for promoting terrorist activities. The funding is routed through a frontal organisation of Hizb – Jammu and Kashmir Affectees Relief Trusts which has its head office in Rawalpindi and branches in Islamabad and Muzaffarabad in PoK.
