Geelani had documents pertaining to Kargil war: J&K police

In a major development, Jammu and Kashmir police on Monday slapped the Official Secrets Act against fire-brand Jamaat-e-Islami leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for allegedly passing on 'classified documents' to Pakistan even as the computer seized from his residence revealed transactions running into millions of rupees since 1990.

Inspector General of Police (Kashmir range) K Rajendra Kumar told reporters that 'five-page documents' recovered from his residence revealed deployment of Indian army and para-military forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

He said it was suspected that Geelani had passed on the documents to Pakistan.

"We are investigating the matter and we hope to expose the entire conspiracy to destabilise the country," he said.

Geelani was on Sunday arrested under POTA for allegedly receiving funds from ISI to sustain militancy in Jammu and Kashmir.

One his sons-in-law, Altaf Ahmed, has also been booked in connection with funding of militancy in the valley.

About the chief of the Dukhtaran-e-Millat Ayisa Indrabi, Kumar said the police had not been able to locate her.
