After separatists, businessmen and scholars, the NIA has now raided the house of Syed Salahuddin’s son Shahid Yousuf, 42, who is a government employee, in Soibugh. They have taken along cell phones and a laptop from his house. The raid was conducted two days after the arrest of Yousuf by the central probe agency in an old case of alleged funding of the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen.
The NIA has alleged that Shahid used to receive funds through a US-based international wire transfer company from Aijaz Ahmed Bhat, another accused in the case who is absconding and is reported to be based in Saudi Arabia. Shahid is accused of receiving nearly Rs 4.5 lakh through eight international wire transfers.

After more than 150 incidents of braid chopping, the reports of beard chopping have started pouring in.

However, the local police was quick in investigating this case and claimed Bhat enacted the ‘drama’ of beard chopping for stealing cash of Rs 1.63 lakh from his shop to escape bank loan repayment. Bhat refuses police claim.
