The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday attached properties worth ₹6.19 crore belonging to Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali and his family members, in connection with terror financing by Lashkar-e-Taiba’s Hafiz Saeed.
The ED had earlier attached Watali’s property in Gurugram, worth over ₹1 crore, taking the quantification of the proceeds of crime under current investigations to ₹7.22 crore.
The investigation carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act revealed that Hurriyat leaders received funds through conduits from Pakistan and also directly from the Pakistan High Commission.
According to the investigation, Watali was remitting the money received to the Hurriyat leaders, separatists, and stone-pelters in Jammu and Kashmir.
