The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday arrested seven Kashmiri separatists on charges of receiving funds from Pakistan to sponsor terror activities and stone-pelting protests in the Kashmir Valley

The NIA arrested all seven Hurriyat leaders, including Nayeem Khan, Bitta Karate, Altaf Fantosh (son-in-law of Syed Ali Shah Geelani), in connection with a terror funding case. It was revealed that these leaders laundered money to create unrest in the Valley. 

The hawala money was being used to burn schools, stone-pelting in the Valley.  The agency has also prepared a list of 60 stone-pelters who have created unrest in the area.

The NIA conducted raids in Srinagar, Jammu, Delhi and Haryana and reportedly seized incriminating evidence against those involved in receiving, acting as intermediaries and final beneficiaries of funds coming from Pakistan. India has for decades accused Pakistan of arming, financing and training militants fighting to end Indian rule in Jammu and Kashmir. Islamabad says it provides only political and diplomatic support.
