New Delhi, April 6 (). The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed a charge sheet in the terror funding case of Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI)-affiliated Al Huda Educational Trust (AHET). The trust continues to raise funds to further its anti-India agenda even after being banned.
JEI was declared an unlawful association in 2019. The NIA, which was later authorized to probe the continued suspicious activities of the banned terror outfit, registered a case against the JEI in September 2022.
The NIA filed the chargesheet before a special NIA court in Jammu and Kashmir.
The official said they filed the charge sheet after extensive investigation and several raids in Jammu and Kashmir.
NIA files charge sheet against Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terrorists Mushtaq Ahmad Mir alias Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar, Mohd Amir Shamshi and Abdul Hamid Ganai alias Abdul Hameed Fayaz, Chairman of AHET and AHET under various sections of UA(P) .
The NIA official said, the investigation has revealed that Mohd Amir Shamshi was responsible for the day-to-day functioning of AHET, which was formed by the JEI with the express objective of raising funds to carry out its separatist activities in Jammu and Kashmir. Aamir collected funds through the trust as an educational and religious charity for JEI, J&K. He funded his co-accused Ameer-e-Jamaat (JEI J&K chief) Abdul Hameed Ganai to further the anti-India agenda of the banned outfit.
Amir Shamshi also conspired with Mushtaq Ahmad Mir, originally a resident of Rajouri.
Mushtaq sent funds from Pakistan to Aamir through hawala channels. Amir used this money to organize propaganda meetings to motivate people to join separatist and terrorist activities.
