ED attaches jailed Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah's house
Srinagar/UNI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday provisionally attached the house of Kashmiri jailed separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002, the agency said.
The property was attached after an ED investigation that revealed Shah was actively involved in activities fuelling unrest in the Kashmir Valley.
"ED has provisionally attached an immovable property situated at Barzulla, Srinagar of value of Rs 21.80 lakh in the name of Shabir Ahmad Shah ... under PMLA," a spokesperson of ED said.
"Investigations revealed that Shabir Shah was actively involved in activities fuelling unrest in Kashmir Valley."
Shah was arrested by ED in 2017 in the money laundering case. He is currently lodged in Tihar jail.
This is not the first time that property of any separatist leader has been seized.
Earlier the residential house of incarcerated Dukhatar-e-Millat chief Syeda Aasiya Andrabi was also seized in Soura, Srinagar outskirts.
