The Special NIA court, Patiala House Court, on Thursday, called for a report on the financial status of two convicts of the terror case. They were convicted on December 18 for providing shelter and logistics support to Lashkar E Taiba Terrorist Bahadur Ali, who is a Pakistani. He, alongwith other terrorists, had infiltrated into India to commit terror attacks in India in the wake of the killing of terrorist Burhan Wani in 2016.
NIA had lodged a case in July 2016 for conspiracy to commit terror attacks in India.
