Terror funding case: ED gets 7-day custody of Shabir Shah

The Enforcement Directorate had on Tuesday arrested Shah after he had not responded to 8 summons issued by the agency. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday got seven-day custody of Kashmir separatist leader Shabir Shah who was arrested in money laundering case.

The ED had issued multiple summons to Shah, but he never deposed before the central investigating agency. A Delhi court had earlier this month issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against the separatist leader.

The agency had issued several summons to Shah over the last few years in pursuance of the August 2005 case, wherein the Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested Mohammed Aslam Wani (35), an alleged hawala dealer, who had claimed that he passed on Rs 2.25 crore to Shah.

Shah in the past had told PTI that the ED case against him was "politically motivated". The ED had registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Shah and Wani.
