Jammu and Kashmir police have arrested a senior Hurriyat Conference functionary accusing him of being the main conduit between separatist elements and ISI operatives in Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi.
Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, who is also the deputy chief of the Kashmir Awareness Bureau set up by the Hurriyat in Delhi, was arrested while he was leaving for the national capital, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) K Rajendra Kumar told reporters.
He said Bhat had been deputed here on a special mission to investigate into the circumstances which led to the recent seizure of Rs 10 million by the police from Hizbul Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Muhammed militants in the Valley.
Bhat, a trusted lieutenant of fire-brand Jamaat-e-Islami leader and former Hurriyat Conference Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, had once earlier been arrested by the Delhi police for anti-national activities.
