Bhat faces Delhi Police team in Pak funds case

Police feel the money was to be used to fund terrorist activities, especially in Habib’s home district of Anantnag. Habib has reportedly confessed that the cash was meant for Bhat and militant groups.

Bhat, who was questioned for an hour by the team last night at his Gogjibagh office, has refuted the charges. ‘‘I told them that Zamrooda might have made these allegations to save her skin or was forced to drag me into it,’’ Bhat told The Indian Express.

He said his questioning by the ‘‘gentlemen was polite and both he (the team head) and I were nice to each other’’, adding: ‘‘Our talk revolved around her arrest.’’
