A court here on Friday allowed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to quiz Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Watali, arrested on charges of receiving funds from Pakistan, till August 28.
During the in-camera proceedings, District Judge Poonam Bamba remanded Watali to the National Investigation Agency’s custody for 10 days. He was arrested on Thursday.
In July, the agency arrested seven separatist leaders for their alleged involvement in “sponsoring unrest” in the valley.
Sources said Watali, who has been under the NIA scanner for nearly two months, was called for repeated questioning at the agency’s Delhi headquarters before his arrest.
