Separatist Shabir Shah’s J&K House Attached In Terror Funding Case
Shabir Ahmad Shah, a separatist from Jammu and Kashmir, has had his Srinagar home seized as part of an investigation into money laundering that is connected to a case of terrorism funding in the union territory, the Enforcement Directorate announced on Friday.
According to officials, the house, which is valued at 21.80 lakh rupees, is situated in Botshah community, Sanat Nagar, close to the Barzulla police station in Srinagar.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a case in May 2017 under several provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act against Lashkar-e-Taiba leader Hafiz Saeed and others, and that case is what led to the money laundering charge against Shabir Shah (UAPA).
“Shabir Ahmad Shah was actively involved in the activities of fuelling unrest in Kashmir valley by way of stone-throwing, processions, protests, bandhs, hartals and other subversive activities.
“He was involved in receiving funds from terrorist organisation Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and other terrorists outfits based in Pakistan as well as from the Pakistani establishment through hawala and various other means and channels and these funds were then being used for fuelling and supporting terrorist activities in the Kashmir valley,” the ED said in a statement.
