New DelhiThe National Investigating Agency (NIA) has permitted the two sons of octogenarian Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani to fly home after they were summoned in the alleged funding case.
Syed Naseem Geelani and Syed Naeem Geelani are flying home today, reports said. However, the brother duo has been directed to report back to NIA on August 18.
