Last Updated 04 August 2017, 14:53 IST
A list of terrorists operating in Kashmir is claimed to have been recovered from a Hurriyat leader arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with terror funding in Jammu and Kashmir.
 
Sources claimed that the list recovered from one of the arrested Shahid-ul-Islam had around 160 names of terrorists operating in the Kashmir Valley, including around 80 from Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and around 65 from Hizbul Mujahideen.
 
A photo of Islam with Hizb chief Syed Salahuddin has also been recovered, they said.
 
Islam and six others including Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's son-in-law Altaf Ahmed Shah were produced before Special NIA court on Friday after their ten-day remand was ending.
 
Shah, Peer Saifullah, Mehrajuddin Kalwal and Nayeem Khan were sent to NIA custody for another 10 days while Islam, Farooq Ahmed Dar and Mohamad Akbar Khanday were sent to the judicial custody till September 1.
 
The police custody of Shah and others came as the NIA told Special Judge O P Saini that they were to be taken to far-off places in Kashmir. The trio was not required for further interrogation and they were sent to judicial custody.
 
The NIA has arrested seven persons, including Shah, in connection with funding anti-India protesters and terrorists in the valley. The arrests came after scrutiny of mobile and internet activities of around 50 Kashmiri youth, who were repeatedly spotted at stone-pelting protests.
