New Delhi, Apr 23: Nayeem Geelani, the son of Hurriyat-G chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, appeared before the National Investigation Agency for questioning in connection with a case related to funding of militant groups and separatist organisations in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said here.
Nayeem Geelani, who had been evading questioning by the NIA for long, appeared on Monday and a detailed questioning took place on Tuesday.
Geelani’s questioning comes days after the NIA quizzed Hurriyat-M chief Mirwaiz Umer Farooq in connection with the same case.
The NIA probe seeks to identify the chain of players behind the financing of militant activities, stone pelting on security forces, burning down of schools and damaging of government establishments.
The case names Hafiz Saeed, the Pakistan-based chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) as an accused.
It also names organisations such as the Hurriyat Conference factions led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani and the Mirwaiz, the Hizbul Mujahideen and the Dukhtaran-e-Millat.
