The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached the house of women’s separatist outfit Dukhtaran-e-Millat leader Asiya Andrabi in Srinagar as part of its probe against her in a terror financing case, reports Zee News.
The attachment was made under provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The seizure means that Andrabi cannot sell off her residence till the investigation is concluded, although her family can still stay there.
Recently, the NIA has revealed that Andrabi had made a confession under interrogation about her women protests in Jammu & Kashmir being organised by using foreign funds.
"During interrogation, Asiya Andrabi admitted she had been collecting funds and donations from foreign sources, for which her organisation Dukhtaran-e-Millat had been organising protests by Muslim women in the Valley," the NIA was quoted as per ANI.
The NIA has also disclosed that it was able to get Andrabi to confess after confronting her with proof of son’s higher studies in Malaysia being funded with the same hawala money she was receiving to conduct protests.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
