Two months ago, the NIA recovered Rs 36 crore worth demonetized currency from nine persons in Delhi in connection with its Jammu and Kashmir terror funding probe. The federal agency is set to file its charge sheet this week.
The central government had on November 8, 2016, banned the use of old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. The government had then introduced new Rs 200, 500 and 2000 notes to meet the cash crunch.
