The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on August 1 said it has attached assets worth INR 17.3 million of Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Watali in connection with a terror funding and money laundering case, reports Daily Excelsior. It said a provisional order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act for attachment of INR 14.8 million worth immovable properties of Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali’s family and INR 2.5 million of his deposits in a Jammu and Kashmir Bank branch in New Delhi. The businessman is being probed for his alleged terror links with banned Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its ‘chief’ Hafiz Sayed, by both the ED and the National Investigation Agency (NIA). “Watali has been found to be involved in fund raising and as a financial conduit of Hurriyat leaders,” the ED had said earlier. “The document clearly indicates that Watali was receiving money from Hafiz Saeed (LeT and Jamaat-Ud-Dawa chief), from ISI, from the Pakistan High Commission at New Delhi and also from a source based in Dubai,” it said. Watali is lodged in the Tihar jail at present in connection with the NIA case.
