The NIA on Thursday filed a charge sheet against 12 people, including Lashkar-e-Toiba chief Hafiz Saeed and Hizbul Mujahideen head Syed Salahuddin, in a case related to alleged funding of terror and secessionist activities in the Kashmir Valley. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed the 1,279- page charge sheet before a designated court here and sought permission to continue its probe. The judicial custody of 10 people arrested in connection with the case ended on Thursday.
Under the anti-terror law -- the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act -- the prosecuting agency has to file a charge sheet within 6 months, failing which the accused is eligible for bail. NIA officials said they gathered substantial material and technical evidence during the probe. They said 60 locations were raided and 950 incriminating documents seized. There are 300 witnesses in the case.
