Jammu and Kashmir Police’s State Investigation Agency (SIA) has arrested a Srinagar resident for his alleged involvement in the white-collar terror module busted recently, officials said.
The accused, identified as Tufail Niyaz, was detained during the probe into posters of the banned outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) that surfaced in Srinagar’s Nowgam area last month.
The investigation into the posters case led to the unravelling of a well-organised, inter-state white-collar terror network believed to be involved in the Red Fort blast in Delhi.
Tufail, who worked as a salesman, allegedly provided an AK-47 rifle to one of the module’s members, a senior official said.
“He is being questioned, and more details are expected to emerge,” the official added.
