NIA summons Geelani’s elder son for questioning

 SRINAGAR/NEW DELHI: As part of its probe into suspected terror funds, the NIA has summoned Naeem Geelani, elder son of hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani, for recording his statement in connection with a Preliminary Enquiry registered by the probe agency.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) issued summons to Geelani for appearance at its Srinagar sub-office, official sources said today.

The case pertains to a PE registered by the NIA to probe flow of funds into various bank accounts from overseas which in turn is allegedly being used for anti-national activities in the Valley.

The hardline faction of Hurriyat Conference led by Geelani issued a statement terming the questioning of its leaders as an act of “terrifying and maligning” the family of its leader. (AGENCIES)
