The National Investigating Agency (NIA) today carried out raids at 17 locations of outlawed Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) outfit in seven districts of Jammu and Kashmir in connection with terror funding case and recovered number of incriminating documents, electronic gadgets etc.

Searches were carried out in different districts of both Jammu and Kashmir divisions and were aimed at detecting bank accounts, financial transactions and other modes of funding to the organization in view of inputs gathered during previous round of raids across different offices and residential premises of the JeI cadre.

Second round of raids on Jamaat cadre was necessitated as questioning of some of those connected with the outfit had given vital clues to the NIA about involvement of more persons in terror funding and mobilization of funds from different organizations not only within the country but abroad,” reliable sources told.

Seven districts where searches were carried out today include Jammu and Kishtwar in Jammu region and Anantnag, Kulgam, Ganderbal, Bandipora and Budgam in Kashmir division.

In Jammu district, the NIA sleuths raided Islamic School and a religious place connected to it at Noor Mohalla in Bajalata area of Nagrota on the outskirts of Jammu City.

A Moulvi Ghulam Rasool son of Nazir Ahmad, originally a resident of village Patnazi in Kishtwar district and presently putting up at Bajalata, was subjected to questioning in connection with funding to the organization. However, he hadn’t been arrested till late this evening when the reports last came in.

Sources said he was subjected to questioning only in connection with funding as the NIA wanted to know exact source of funding and spending of the amount received from various places in the country as well as abroad.

Construction works at Bajalata was originally done by Ghulam Nabi Faridabadi affiliated with JeI and Hurriyat Conference.
