A Delhi court on February 1 ordered the release of nine persons arrested with a demonetized currency that was alleged to be used for funding terror in Jammu and Kashmir, reports First Post. National Investigation Agency (NIA) special judge Tarun Sahrawat directed their release with immediate effect, if not required in any other case, after the central agency submitted that the possession of the demonetized currency does not fall under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) or any scheduled offence handled by the NIA. Of the nine persons, three hail from Jammu and Kashmir, two from Delhi, two from Mumbai (Maharashtra), and one each from Uttar Pradesh and Nagpur (Maharashtra).The NIA said on scrutiny of material available on record, it appeared the nine were part of a conspiracy to commit offences under Section 7 of the Specified Bank Notes (Cessation of Liabilities) Act. "However, this conspiracy is found to be distinct from the conspiracy for which a chargesheet has been filed... in the court on 18 January against 12 other accused," the NIA said. On January18, the NIA filed the chargesheet under stringent anti-terror laws against seven jailed Kashmiri separatist leaders on charges of conspiring with Pakistan-based terrorist leaders Hafiz Saeed and Syed Salahuddin to wage a war against India to secede Jammu and Kashmir.
