Bangalore: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) yesterday seized from a Bangalore businessman Rs11.4m in cash, allegedly belonging to two Manipur-based outlawed terrorist groups.
“The businessman admitted receiving the unaccounted cash from N Shanti Meitei, a self-styled general secretary of the People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK) and the United People’s Party of Kangleipak (UPPK), a banned terrorist organisation, in Manipur,” NIA said.
The NIA had arrested Meitei in a terror-related case earlier.
“The seized money was deposited in the businessman’s account operated in a State Bank of India branch in the city,” a NIA source said declining to name the businessman, as investigation in the terror case was on.
The investigation also found that large sums of terror funds made their way into real estate deals in Bangalore.
