Indian intelligence and security agencies have launched investigation into revelations made by hardline women separatist leader Asiya Andrabi that people from Al-Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ( TTP) came to meet her, a local newspaper Rising Kashmir reported Thursday.
The newspaper quoting its sources said all the agencies have been asked to probe the mater thoroughly to check whether there was any security lapse.
"Counter Insurgency Kashmir (CIK), Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) would conduct the parallel probe to look into all possible angles," the newspaper report said. "Once the basic details emerge, the Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) chief would be questioned."
On Sunday Andrabi in an interview to a local news portal claimed some people from Saudi Arabia belonging to TTP and Al- Qaida met her at her residence in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Dukhtaran-e-Millat (Daughters of Faith) headed by Andrabi is a puritanical Islamist women's group in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Assertions are rife that following the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in Dec. 2014, the Taliban will enter Indian- controlled Kashmir to fight Indian army.
Al Qaeda is considered as a global terror network, while TTP is an extremist group operating from northwest frontier province of Pakistan and engaged in a war with Pakistan army.
Separatist leaders in the restive region have been critical of Taliban and Al Qaeda ideology.
A guerrilla war is going on between militants and Indian troopers stationed in restive region since 1989.
