They said during the investigation conducted by SIA Kashmir it was established that funds raised from the foreign soil were subsequently laundered through banking channels/money exchange and further deposited in the bank accounts of the family members of killed/active terrorists for sustenance of terrorism/secessionism and for furthering unlawful terrorist activities in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. The money was chiefly channelized through the accounts of Hamaad Farooq Tramboo- a notorious OGW.
