Jammu: National Investigation Agency (NIA) Monday raided the ancestral home of Jammu based advocate Devender Singh Behal, who was arrested here a day earlier over his alleged links with Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
Behal’s ancestral house is located in Nowshera town in Rajouri district. As part of its crackdown on Kashmiri separatist leaders for their alleged involvement in funding subversive activities, the NIA last Sunday raided Behal’s home in Bakshi Nagar in Jammu and took him into custody.
Behal is Chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Social Peace Forum (JKSPF).
Four mobile phones, a tablet, electronic devices and financial documents were recovered during the search operation on Sunday.
The NIA said Behal was a member of the legal cell of the Geelani-led Hurriyat
