ED Takes Possession Of Kashmir Assets Linked To Salahuddin, Others indiatoday.in

The ED has taken possession of seven of the 13 assets attached by it in the past in connection with a terror-financing case against Syed Salahuddin, the Pakistan-based terrorist and chief of the globally banned group Hizbul Mujahideen, officials said on Tuesday. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had attached these assets in March this year under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). After the Adjudicating Authority of the said law recently upheld the order, the possession notice was issued, they said. The ED had attached a total of 13 properties worth Rs 1.22 crore in Kashmir that belonged to Mohammad Shafi Shah, a resident of Bandipora, Gulam Nabi, a resident of Anantnag district, and five other residents of Jammu-Kashmir, who allegedly worked for the terror outfit.

Possession of the remaining six assets will also been taken soon, they said. The federal probe agency had filed a criminal case of money laundering in this instance after taking cognisance of a National Investigating Agency (NIA) charge sheet filed against Salahuddin, Shah and others under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Action (UAPA) and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.
