Shabir Shah's close aide sent to ED remand till Aug 14

The development comes close on the heels of Shabir Shah's arrest on July 26.

A Delhi Court on Sunday sent Aslam Wani, a close aide of separatist leader Shabir Shah, to Enforcement Directorate remand till August 14.

The ED had earlier in the day arrested Aslam Wani in connection with terror funding case.

The development came close on the heels of Shabir Shah's arrest on July 26.

Early on Friday, a Delhi court has issued an open-ended Non-Bailable Warrant against Aslam Wani, against whom the Enforcement Directorate had registered a case of alleged money laundering in 2007.

An open-ended NBW does not carry a time limit for execution, unlike NBW.
The ED's case in 2007 came after Delhi Police's Special Cell arrested Wani in 2005 and recovered a pistol and Rs 62.9 lakh.

Wani had allegedly "confessed" to having worked as a courier for Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah, who is currently in ED's custody.

In 2010, a Delhi court had cleared Wani of terror funding charges but had convicted him under the Arms Act. The ED had registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Shah and Wani.

Shah was arrested by the agency from Srinagar on July 26.
