Cuttack/New Delhi: After being interrogated by the National Investigating Agency (NIA) for four days over his suspected terror links, Akhtar Hussein Khan returned to Odisha today.
After returning home Hussein said that instead of terror links he was questioned over few of his monetary transactions with Saudi Arabia. The NIA released him after he answered their questions, added Hussein.
"They asked about my monetary transactions with Saudi Arabia and I had made it clear that I had asked for some money from my friends and relatives. I am also still not clear why they had taken me. After interrogation they gave me a clean chit and asked me to return home and took responsibility of returning the materials seized from my house," said Hussein.
Hussein’s family heaved a sigh of relief after his return. "I am happy that my husband returned home as an innocent person after getting a clean chit from the NIA," said Hussein's wife Ashrafunnisa.
Hussein, a resident of Samantarapur under Kissan Nagar police limits of Cuttack, had been detained by the NIA earlier on November 29, after a raid at his residence.
He was released later on that day after a marathon interrogation over alleged links with a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative who was nabbed from Lucknow.
The next day, the NIA issued a notice to Hussein asking him to depose on December 4 at its headquarters in Delhi.
