New Delhi : A Delhi court on Friday sent NIA’s former Superintendent of Police Arvind Digvijay Negi, Kashmiri human rights activist Khurram Parvez and others to judicial custody for a month in a case related to the militant funding in the valley.
Special Judge Parveen Singh sent the accused persons to jail till March 24 after they were produced before the court on expiry of their custodial interrogation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
The agency had arrested Negi, a former SP of the NIA, for allegedly leaking secret documents to an overground worker of the banned Terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
The case was filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), including those related to militancy and terror funding.
