SRINAGAR: A school teacher, who was a recruiter for proscribed Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashikar-e-Taiba (LeT), was arrested from his residence in north Kashmir on Thursday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said. Altaf Ahmad Rather, a resident of Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district, was wanted in a case registered in West Bengal last year following the arrest of a woman, Tania Parveen, for her association with the terror group, a spokesman of the NIA said. Investigation has revealed that Rather is a school teacher in Bandipora and was a sympathiser of the LeT.
