Telangana man questioned by J&K Police for money transfer

Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday questioned a man in Telangana's Jagtiyal district for transferring money to a person arrested for alleged links with the terrorists.

Sarikela Linganna was picked up by a team of Jammu and Kashmir police from Kustapur village in Mallapur 'mandal' (block) and taken to Mallapur police station for questioning.

Linganna had reportedly transferred Rs 9,000 into the bank account of Rakesh Kumar who was arrested in Kashmir last month for alleged links with the terrorists.

Rakesh, a resident of border town Arnia, had allegedly shared information about security installations with a girl used as a 'honeytrap' by the terrorists.

Linganna is said to have transferred the money twice to Rakesh. However, he denied any links with Rakesh and told police that he had transferred the amount to his friend in Dubai. IANS
