The NIA named theHafiz saeed and Geelani in its preliminary enquiry (PE), which precedes the filing of a case. It also named Naeem Khan, who was seen on television during a sting operation purportedly confessing to receiving money from Pakistan-based groups.
The others named in the PE were Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate and Gazi Javed Baba of the Tehreek-e-Hurriyat.
The NIA team arrived in Srinagar on Friday to question those named in the PE and to collect documentary evidence against them. The LeT chief is based in Pakistan.
In a PE, the NIA can ask those named in the case to appear before it but cannot force them to do so, or arrest them
