NIA has been conducting raids in Kashmir and parts of India in connection with the ‘alleged terror funding’ case in which many Hurriyat leaders are being held in judicial custody in Tihar since last year. Many businessmen and journalists were also summoned by the NIA in connection with the ‘funding case’.
In March, Kamran Yousuf, who spent six months in custody, was granted bail the NIA special court. Recently, Businessman Zahoor Watali’s bail was stayed by the The Supreme Court of India.
Watali was arrested on August 17, 2017, and was charge-sheeted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on January 18 along with Pakistan-based Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin, seven Kashmiri pro-freedom leaders and others in the case of alleged terror funding in the Kashmir Valley.
