The NIA on Saturday raided locations in Srinagar and Delhi belonging to Kashmiri businessman Sahil Zaroo in connection with the DSP Davinder Singh probe.
Though Zaroo (right) was not in touch with tainted DSP Davinder Singh (left), he is said to have been in touch with one of the other accused in the case.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday carried out searches at residences of handicraft businessman Sahil Zaroo in connection with the suspended police officer Davinder Singh case. Searches were carried in the Nageen area in Srinagar and GK in Delhi.
Though Zaroo was not in touch with tainted DSP, he is said to have been in touch with one of the other accused. Zaroo’s phone was taken away by the probe agency and he was questioned for a couple of hours.
But this is not the handicraft businessman’s first brush with controversy. Sahil Zaroo was a co-accused in the Rahul Mahajan drug abuse case in June 2006.
Sahil Zaroo was then a 21-year-old student of St Xavier’s College in Mumbai. Mahajan’s father’s private secretary Vivek Moitra had died after consuming the drug in the hospital. While the controversy regarding the drug abuse died down, this time he is being questioned for links to the Hizb terror case.
The NIA had recently filed a chargesheet in the case of Jammu and Kashmir’s Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Davinder Singh who was caught while giving safe passage to 2 Hizb militants and a lawyer out of the Valley on January 11.
