Ngo Terror Funding

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a close associate of a human rights activist in connection with its ongoing investigation into an NGO terror funding case here, an official said today.

The NIA registered the case in 2011 and the accused include Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin.

Six non-profits and trust and nine places, including the property of former Delhi Minority Commission chief Zafarul-Islam Khan have been raided by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a terror funding case.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today carried our searches at nine places, including the premises of a local daily, in Srinagar in connection with a fresh terror funding probe.

From time to time, the Indian government has warned of the dangers of the rise of puritanical, Saudi-style Islam in India, most recently, during the unrest in Kashmir, when it warned it will not allow a 'Wahhabi theocracy' to take root in the Valley.

A senior joint secretary - heading the division of the Home Ministry that decides on visa policy and foreign funding of NGOs - is likely to be suspended for allowing Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), headed by Islamic TV evangelist Zakir Naik to receive foreign funds.
