Syed Shahid Yousuf, son of internationally-wanted terrorist Syed Salahuddin, was on Wednesday sent to seven-day custody for interrogation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with a 2011 terror-funding case.

"Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions made in the application, to enable the NIA to unearth the criminal conspiracy and link of the accused with prescribed terrorist organisation of the Hizb-ul-Mujahedin, Syed Shahid Yousuf is remanded to police custody till November 1," District and Sessions Judge Poonam A Bamba said.

The investigating agency, in its plea, had sought the custody of Yousuf to unearth the entire criminal conspiracy and establish his link with the prescribed terrorist organisation of the Hizb-ul- Mujahedin (HuM).

Yousuf was arrested by the NIA on Tuesday. The application also said that certain telephone calls were intercepted which revealed that a member of the Pakistan-based banned terrorist group HuM was sending huge amount of funds to the terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir through Delhi.

The counsel for Yousuf, however, opposed the application and claimed he was falsely implicated in the case.

The NIA has claimed that, so far, Yousuf has received a total of nearly Rs 4.5 lakh through eight international wire transfers.The agency has also filed two chargesheets so far against six people including GM Bhat, a close aide of pro-Pakistan separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mohammed Siddiq Ganai, Ghulam Jeelani Liloo and Farooq Ahmed Dagga.
