After thorough interrogation, the individual revealed that he&nbsp;was running a terror funding racket with five other people from different parts of North Kashmir under the garb of a fake NGO called Islahi Falahi Relief Trust&nbsp;(IFRT)&nbsp;which claimed to provide monetary assistance to poor and needy families,'' said Kupwara SSP Yougal Manhas.&nbsp;

The police said that these individuals were actively involved in coordinating the funding for terror activities and aiding recruitment by organizing 'Ijtema' meetings in different villages where Bilal along with other members of the NGO would try and lure young people into anti-national activities. According to police, Bilal had revealed names of five other accomplices.&nbsp;

''Bilal also revealed the names of his accomplices as Wahid Ahmed Bhatt&nbsp;from Kachloo, Langet, and Javed Ahmed Najar from Singhpora, Baramulla and two other individuals, namely Mushtaq Ahmed Najar of Brath Sopore and Bashir Ahmed Mir from Mundji area of Sopore. Another individual,&nbsp;Zubair Ahmed Dar&nbsp;from Cheerkote, who is Bilal’s cousin, was also actively involved in the module. The module was being coordinated by Pakistan-based handlers to aid the operations of Tehreek-e-ul Mujahideen Jammu &amp; Kashmir&nbsp;(TuMJK)&nbsp;in North Kashmir,"&nbsp;said Kupwara SSP Yougal Manhas.&nbsp;

According to Jammu and Kashmir police, the modus operandi of the group was to go to different villages and conduct events and gatherings under the garb of the NGO and collect money by asking for charity and also scout for potential soft targets as recruits. The accounts in the NGO’s name were being used to launder money for the TuMJK.

''The group was also responsible for sticking anti-national posters&nbsp;around the 15th of August and during the visit of Union Home Minister of India&nbsp;to Baramulla. Bilal specifically also admitted to hoisting a Pakistan&nbsp;flag&nbsp;inside Markaz Jamia Masjid Kupwara on the 14th of August on the instructions of his Pakistani handlers. The group was also actively collecting explosive materials which are known to be used in IEDs,'' the SSP&nbsp;Kupwara said.&nbsp;

Police said that a huge quantity of arms, ammunition, raw material to prepare IEDs and incriminating material has also been recovered from all the apprehended individuals. This includes five pistols, 10 magazines, 49 pistol ammunition, two grenades and one IED.
