The Enforcement Directorate has filed a supplementary chargesheet against Bilquies Shah, wife of Shabir Ahmad Shah, in connection with a terror-funding case in Jammu and Kashmir. The agency had charge-sheeted him in September 2017.

In the latest chargesheet, the ED has alleged that Ms. Shah was also involved in money laundering. The agency had earlier attached the alleged proceeds of crime in the form of a property located in the posh area of Srinagar, held in her name and that of her daughters.

According to the agency, Mr. Shah was found involved in illicit activities along with his accomplice, Mohammed Aslam Wani, who was an activist of the banned terror outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammed. Mr. Wani allegedly operated as a carrier for collecting the money being sent from Pakistan through the ‘hawala’ channel.
