The incident comes amidst the demand of depirting the Rohingyas who have illegally settled around military camps here. The police was investigating whether the money had been received through the hawala channels for being handed over to terrorists.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has already arrested a couple of separatists and Kashmiri traders who are suspected of receiving hawala money from Pakistan and other sources for funding terrorism.
