The NIA custody of four separatists, including the son-in-law of Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani, was today extended by 10 more days by a Delhi court in a “terror funding” case.
Special Judge O P Saini, however, sent three other separatist leaders to judicial custody for a month after the National Investigation Agency did not seek their custody.
Geelani’s son-in-law Altaf Ahmed Shah and other six accused Ayaz Akbar, Peer Saifullah, Shahid-ul-Islam, Mehrajuddin Kalwal, Nayeem Khan and Farooq Ahmed Dar were arrested on July 24 in the case of alleged funding of “terror” and“subversive activities” in the Kashmir Valley.
The agency had earlier sought their custody, saying they had to be taken to various places for the purpose of investigation.
