Terror funding case: Delhi Court dismisses bail application of separatist Shabir Shah

A Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed bail plea of Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah arrested on charges of money laundering.

On August 9, the court had sent Shabir Shah on 14-day judicial custody for his involvement in a decade-old money laundering case for alleged terror financing.

Shah was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on July 25 from Srinagar and was brought to Delhi.

Earlier in August, the court had allowed the ED custody of Shah after the agency alleged that he was "ruining" the country by using money to fund terror.

The court, in July, issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against the separatist leader.

The agency had been issuing to Shah summons earlier too in pursuance of the August 2005 case in which the Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested Mohammed Aslam Wani (35), an alleged hawala dealer.

The ED had registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Shah.
