SRINAGAR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday said to have conducted searches at two locations in Srinagar and Handwara districts of JK in terror funding case relating to “The Resistance Front” (TRF) – a proxy outfit of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Both LeT and TRF are proscribed terrorist organisations.

During the investigation, NIA uncovered a foreign trail of funds, which is being probed extensively. Investigations have further revealed that local youth were being instigated into anti-national activities and were being funded by the terror outfits, the statement reads, adding that the counter-terror agency is continuing with its investigation.
