Shopian Police Arrest 10 in Suspected Terror Financing Case

Shopian Police said they arrested 10 people in an investigation into suspected terror financing and registered a case at the district police station in Jammu and Kashmir. Police said the arrests followed an inquiry into online transactions and alleged links between the suspected network and people held in different jails.
