In an ongoing probe into the terror funding case in the Valley, the National Investigating Agency conducted searches at 11 locations in Srinagar and five places in Delhi.

"The raids have been carried out in several places in Delhi, Srinagar and Gurugram in connection with terror funding. There are links of hawala operators, funders and cross LoC traders have emerged based on which raids are being conducted," DG NIA Sharad Kumar said.

India Today's sting in May this year first exposed how Hurriyat leaders were receiving funding from Pakistan to stoke unrest and kill people in the Kashmir Valley.

Seven seperatists leaders were then arrested in July.

Among the leaders arrested are Syed Ali Shah Geelani's son-in-law Altaf Shah, Nayeem Khan, Ayaz kbar Khanday, Mehrajuddin Kalwal, Peer Saifullah (all from Geelani's faction of Hurriyat), Shahid-ul-Islam (of the Hurriyat faction led by the Mirwaiz) and Bitta Karatay (Farooq Ahmed Dar) of a faction of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front.
