The charge comes days after a sting operation allegedly caught Hurriyat leader, Naeem Khan, saying that Pakistan was funding their separatist cause.
India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) soon summoned Khan and Bitta Karate for interrogation into terror funding in India's Jammu and Kashmir. Geelani'sson-in-law Altaf Fantoosh, was also brought to New Delhi forquestioning earlier this week.
The NIA also conducted several raids in Kashmir,Delhi and Haryana and recovered Rs 2.5 crore from properties of eight hawala traders who are suspected to have been supporting the extremism in Kashmir.
