PTI, NEW DELHI: A Delhi court today denied bail to Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah in a 2007 money- laundering case, noting the Enforcement Directorate’s charge that he took money from Pakistan to create unrest in the Valley.
Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma, who had in August last year denied the relief to Shah citing the ongoing probe, dismissed his fresh bail plea. The court took note of the submission by special public public prosecutor N K Matta, appearing for ED, that “Shah is involved in channelising illegal money sourced from Pakistan, avoiding banking channels, to fund terror organisations in
J and K and other parts of the country and if released on bail, he may use his influence in threatening the witnesses.”
