The NIA is questioning the persons connected with the case.

Earlier in April, the Indian Government had decided to suspend all cross-LoC trade with Pakistan as the routes were being used by elements in Pakistan to push weapons, narcotics and counterfeit currency into India according to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

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.
