An NIA court in Jammu on Tuesday granted the police 14 days remand of terrorist Mohammed Naved Yakub, the Pakistani militant who was caught alive last week after the Udhampur terror strike in which two BSF personnel were killed.


The Indian Express reports that based on information provided by Naved, police and central security agencies have launched a manhunt for a businessman who is alleged to have paid him and Mohammed Noman alias Momin Rs 5 lakh for sharing it with other Lashkar-e-Taiba cadre.


The businessman, who reportedly owns a shop in uptown Srinagar, had provided the money to the Naved and his handlers to run LeT network in Kashmir and to carry out terror strikes.


So far 11 people have been rounded up by the police based on information provided by Naved during his interrogation and all of them are being questioned, the sources said.


Facing persistent questioning by a host of interrogators, Naved has now told them he has shared all information available with him and that there was nothing more. "Mere kol jitna bhi tha, mein dus ditta. Haur mere kol kuch na hai, mainu tang na karo (I have shared whatever I knew. I don't know anything beyond this. Please stop asking me again and again)," Naved reportedly told his interrogators today when he was being questioned again about the route he took for infiltration.
