Searches were conducted at the premises of suspects at Mendhar Poonch, Baramulla, Kupwara in connection with the investigation of a terror funding case registered at Counter Intelligence Police Station, Srinagar. This is the first confirmed case in Jammu and Kashmir, where bitcoin has been used for terror funding.
A mastermind of Pakistan involved
According to SIA officials, “The details that are being probed in the initial phase include a mastermind from Pakistan, who is sending black money with the support of Pakistani intelligence agencies and with terrorist organizations based in Pakistan. At the same time, this money was being sent to promote violence and terrorist activities on a large scale in Jammu and Kashmir. This money was used by the agents of terrorists in the state.” Police said, Pakistani mastermind has been identified in the raid. However, we cannot tell about them. The details are being kept confidential, as we do not wish to alert other agents associated with it.
