As per news report of The Indian Express, The officer has been arrested in the same case in which the agency had last year arrested Jammu and Kashmir human rights activist Khurram Parvez. According to an input to the NIA from an intelligence agency, the document reached an overground worker via Parvez. Having worked with NIA since its inception, Negi went back to his cadre and home state Himachal Pradesh last year. Soon after, in November, NIA searched his residence in Shimla in connection with the J&K case it was probing. Negi, notably, not only investigated several cases of terrorism in J&K, including those against Hurriyat leaders, but was also a key officer in the team that probed Hindutva terror cases.
