18 Aug 2017
  • A millionaire was arrested from Srinagar for allegedly funding Kashmiri terrorists and separatists.
  • Zahoor Ahmad Watali was reportedly handling transfer of money from Pakistan to anti-India elements. He even maintained related account books.
  • Earlier, the prominent Kashmiri businessman was questioned by the NIA. The arrest came after raids at properties linked to him unearthed "highly incriminating material".

  • A series of accusations against Watali
    Accusations
  • Watali was arrested once in 1990 along with Yaseen Malik, Sajjad Gani Lone and others when known anti-national elements were found present at his house.
  • Almost 20 years later, he was accused of illegal encroachment and assault.
  • He was also accused of traveling on a canceled passport. "When he tried to do so (again), his invalid passport was seized by authorities," said the NIA.

  • That Pakistan-based terrorist groups have been funding separatist activities in Kashmir is by now an open secret. But recent findings suggest it is rather a two-way street.
  • The terrorist outfits too demand money from separatist leaders from time to time and threaten harm if they don't pay.
  • Demands aren't limited to money either. Mobile phones are a common demand.
