The investigating team will go to Kulgam, Qazigund, Srinagar airport and residences of Singh in the next few days to collect evidences.

A case was registered by the NIA on Saturday after receiving the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) order and started the investigation.

Singh was arrested on 11 January with three Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists including top commander Naveed Babu, along with arms and ammunition, while they were travelling in a car in Kazipur on the National Highway.
