New Delhi, Sept. 2 -- The National Investigation Agency (NIA), in its larger probe into the funding of terrorist outfit The Resistance Front (TRF), has come across a Srinagar-based individual's mobile phone that has over 450 contact numbers, including of those involved in over 80 cases being investigated by the federal agency since 2011, people familiar with the development said. The suspect, identified as Yasir Hayat, was in touch with a suspected Malaysia-based handler Sajad Ahmed Mir as well as two Pakistani numbers, officials said, adding Hayat "had also travelled to Malaysia". HT reported in June that NIA is conducting a larger probe into the funding of TRF - a proxy of proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) - which was also involved in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. The federal agency arrested Hayat and another person, Shafat Maqbool Wani, as part of its TRF funding probe and also carried out raids at multiple places across Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) earlier this month. "Yasir Hayat, a resident of Srinagar, is turning out to be a key link in TRF members based in the Valley receiving funds from abroad. The CDR (call details record) analysis of his phone has revealed some 463 contacts, which are involved in 87 cases of NIA since 2011. Some of these cases are linked to hawala transactions and LeT's previous anti-national activities in J&K," an officer said, requesting anonymity. Hayat was in touch with one Sajad Ahmed Mir of Malaysia, who instructed him to give terror funds to the tune of around Rs.2 lakh to Shafat Wani, the officer said. "During a trip to Malaysia, Hayat was also in touch with two Pakistani numbers," the officer said. It is suspected that Wani had received a total of Rs.9 lakh terror funds. htc...
