Madhyamik results on 2 May
The much-awaited result of this year’s Madhaymik Pariksha would be published on 2 May, the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education, today, in a notification said.
Three separatist leaders, who have been summoned to Delhi by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for questioning in connection with funding from Pakistan, were detained by the police in Srinagar on Wednesday.
Those detained are: Altaf Ahmad Shah, son-in-law of the top pro-Pakistan separatist Syed Alishah Geelani; Ayaz Akbar, a leader of the Hurriyat and trader Merajdin Kalwal.
Reports said the state police put them under preventive detention on the directions of NIA that had received information that the separatists were planning to organise violent protests in the valley to stall interrogation of the three who were earlier questioned by the NIA at Delhi.

The NIA had last month raided about 29 houses and business establishments in Srinagar, Jammu and elsewhere in the country in connection with alleged terror funding to certain separatists by various Pakistani agencies. Cash amounting Rs.1.5 crore was seized during the raids.
The police raided houses of the three separatists and took them to the Raj Bagh police station in Srinagar. Another separatist Saifullah was not in his house when the police went there.
It is worth mentioning that Geelani has been threatening of violence if the NIA went ahead with “implicating” the separatists in the terror funding case. He has been issuing press releases almost every day against the NIA action.
The NIA raids had come when some separatists admitted on camera that they were receiving money from Pakistan to keep the pot boiling in Kashmir by funding stone-pelters, burning schools and other violent activities.
