India arrests Kashmiri separatist leaders

India’s federal counterterrorism agency arrested seven members of Kashmir’s main separatist alliance yesterday on charges of receiving funds from Pakistani militant groups to launch attacks, the agency said, the first such case against the group. The national investigation agency said it had found cash and valuables worth millions of rupees, electronic devices and incriminating documents during raids on the seven members of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, an umbrella group of political and religious groups fighting for Kashmir’s secession from India.
