The Intelligence agencies of the Government of
India have put all financial institutions including banks in both
Government and private sectors on high alert following reports
that dreaded militant outfits like LeT and HM have generated funds
worth several crores from within the country and abroad to step-up
militancy in India especially J&K. Official sources said that
reports available with the Intelligence agencies on the basis
of investigations conducted by financial wings revealed that the
two militant outfits, which were being run through 'remote control'
from Pakistan and were instrumental in inflicting several casualties
of security forces and civilians, had received funds from abroad
running into several crores and used them for funding militancy
and financing families of both working and slain terrorists. Reports
revealed that the two militant outfits had specifically received
funds from various Gulf nations and Pakistan apart from some other
countries. However, majority of funds had come from Gulf and Pakistan.
Some of the funds had also been received from a couple of States
within the country. There had been reports that the money had
been distributed by both the outfits among their cadre including
militants, their families, kin of slain militants and OGWs to
sustain the militancy, which had suffered major reverses over
the past few years.
