SrinagarIndias National Investigating Agency has arrested Shahid Yousuf, the son of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin in alleged funding case.
The arrest of Shahid Yusuf, who works with the J&K agriculture department as village agriculture extension assistant and has a family home in Soibugh village, Budgam, comes barely a day after the Centre appointed a representative to initiate dialogue in J&K.
Reports said that he had been summoned by NIA in funding case and on Tuesday he was formally arrested by the agency.
He had appeared for an initial round of questioning by NIA a few days ago.
Fake charges framed against my son: Syed Salahudin
UJC Chief and Hizb Supreme Commander Syed Salahudin Tuesday said Indian government through its agencies has framed fake charges against his son.
A fake story has been made to arrest my son, Hizbul Mujahideen spokesman Saleem Hashmi quoted Salahuddin as saying.
In a tele-statement, Hashmi said the arrest of son of Salahuddin wont deter the leadership from their resolve for freedom movement. Such acts wont weaken our freedom movement and neither will it daunt the resolve of the leaders of freedom movement.
He said the arrest of Salahuddins son Shahid Yousuf has yet again exposed the Indian agencies and their defeat in the ongoing freedom struggle. (KNS)
