Naeem was scheduled to visit New Delhi on Monday to appear before National Investigative Agency (NIA) for interrogation on Wednesday. He is under scanner for alleged terror funding.
Naeem is the second son of Geelani, who heads separatist conglomerate Tehreek-e-Hurriyat. A Hurriyat spokesman said that Naeem is a hear patient and had suffered a massive heart attack in 2009. He said, “Naeem has been kept in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). He has been under regular medical care. Repeated psychological pressure may have had adverse effects on his health.”
