Srinagar, June 7 (Azadi Times) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday questioned prominent religious Kashmiri scholar and Rector of Madrasa Darul Uloom Rahimiya, Maulana Rehmatullah Qasmi, in connection with a case related to the alleged funding activities of Al-Hadi Education Trust (AHET) in Rajouri.

Azadi Times News Network, the NIA summoned Maulana Qasmi a Kashmiri scholar to appear at its camp office in Srinagar. He appeared before the NIA officials and was questioned for several hours.
