Date:- 20 Aug 2022


Delhi-based Yaseen got funds from South Africa for fuelling terrorism

The Delhi Police and the J&K Police, in assistance with central agencies, on Friday arrested a hawala operator for allegedly funding terror outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Al-Badr. The accused has been identified as Mohammed Yaseen. The arrest came a day after the J&K Police caught a man, Abdul Hamid Mir, carrying Rs 10 lakh at the Jammu bus stand.

HGS Dhaliwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Special Cell, Delhi, said Inspectors Sunil Kumar Rajain and Ravinder Joshi, under the supervision of ACPs Lalit Mohan Negi and Hridaya Bhushan, were working on a piece of information when they caught Yaseen, a resident of Turkman Gate, in Delhi. “He was working as an agent for hawala transactions related to funding LeT and Al-Badr. On August 17, Yaseen gave around Rs 10 lakh to a terror operative, Abdul Hamid Mir, of J&K for use in terrorist activities,” Dhaliwal said.

According to the official, the Delhi Police had on Thursday received information from central agencies and the J&K Police regarding Yaseen engaged in anti-national activities and operating from Meena Bazaar in Delhi. “A raiding team was constituted and deployed in and around Meena Bazaar,” the DCP said.

The police said Rs 7 lakh in cash and a cell phone were seized from him. “Yaseen is a garment trader in Meena Bazaar. Working as a conduit, he collected funds from abroad and delivered the same to terror operatives in J&K,” the official said.

During interrogation, Yaseen disclosed that hawala money was also being sent to Surat and Mumbai through South Africa.

The police said, “Yaseen is an important link for taking funds from different parts of the country to J&K. Recently, he received Rs 24 lakh from South Africa of which he transferred Rs 17 lakh through two couriers, including Abdul Hamid Mir, to terror operatives in J&K. The remaining amount (Rs 7 lakh) was recovered from his house during a search.”

Further investigation is being carried out. — IANS
