The NIA team arrested him after raiding a house in Srinagar's Rambagh area between 3-4 am early in the morning.
Sources told MyNation that the NIA team started exploring Shakeel's house, and after a while, arrested him and took him along.
Police sources said that Shakeel has been taken to a joint interrogation centre, where the central agency will interrogate him further. He will be taken to Delhi.
