NIA Uncovers TRF Funding Network, Links to Foreign Sources
The Indian government is investigating how a group called TRF gets its money.
TRF is linked to a terrorist group based in Pakistan.
Investigators found that money came from Pakistan, Malaysia, and some countries in the Gulf.
The money was used to support TRF's activities, including funding local youth and inciting anti-India actions.
They traced phone calls and financial transactions.
India is collecting evidence to potentially pressure Pakistan regarding its financial support for terrorism.
This separate probe is not directly tied to the Pahalgam attack, though TRF claimed responsibility.
The NIA is investigating the funding channels of The Resistance Front (TRF).
TRF is a proxy group for the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
Funding sources traced to Pakistan, Malaysia, and Gulf countries.
The probe is separate from the investigation of the Pahalgam attack.
NIA is gathering evidence to present to the FATF regarding Pakistan's role in terrorism.
