The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday summoned to New Delhi Jammu and Kashmir independent legislator Engineer Rashid for questioning.
Informed sources here said Engineer Rashid, who represents the north Kashmir Langate assembly constituency, has been asked to reach the NIA office on October 3.
The agency is investigating an alleged terror funding case involving separatist leaders, some local businessmen and others.
It is for the first time that a MLA from the state has been summoned by the NIA.
So far, 10 people, including separatist leaders and a businessman, have been arrested by the NIA.
