India’s NIA has fingered Baljeet Singh, ‘Baljeet Maur’, in the UAE; Gurjant Singh, alias Janta, in Australia; Prince Chauhan from Canada; Aman Poorewal based in the United States; and Bilal Mansher, in hiding in Pakistan.
All five are tied to the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF).
They contacted KTF terrorist Kamaljeet Sharma, who is in Patiala jail. The 5 are accused of arms and drugs smuggling, coordinating finances for terrorism, youth recruitment for anti-India activities, hawala transactions and more.
Hawala or hewala is an informal value transfer system based on the performance and honour of a huge network of money brokers. (hawaladars) They operate outside of traditional banking financial channels. The system requires a minimum of two hawaladars that do the transaction without the movement of cash or transfer. While hawaladars are spread throughout the world, they are primarily located in the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Hawala is a money launderers dream. Vast sums of dirty money is washed using hawala.
