On July 2 also, the NIA had issued summons to separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geel's grandson, Anees-ul-Islam, to appear before it in New Delhi on July 9 for questioning in connection with terror funding case.

NIA and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) have so far arrested dozens of businessman in the Valley and separatist leaders in connection with terror funding.
