A mosque in Uttawar village in Palwal district of Haryana has come under national scrutiny after the National Investigation Agency alleged that it was built from terror funds that came from Hafiz Saeed-led Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Pakistan.
 
The Khulafa-e-Rashideen masjid was searched by NIA officers on October 3, days after the agency arrested three men on September 26, including the Imam of the masjid, Mohammed Salman, in New Delhi in an alleged terror-funding case.
 
NIA claimed that Salman had received Rs. 70 Lakh and money for his daughters’ marriages through a hawala network after coming in contact with a Pakistani national in Dubai. The Pakistani citizen named Kamran is said to be connected with the Deputy Chief of Falah-e-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF). NIA claimed that Lahore based FIF is an NGO set up by Hafiz Saeed’s Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), Lashkar’s parent organisation.
