The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday said it has attached 13 properties worth Rs 1.22 crore owned by Mohammad Shafi Shah and six other terrorists of Hizbul Mujahideen in terror financing case against Pakistan-based chief of the outfit Mohammad Syed Salahuddin.
The ED said the properties belonged to Mohammad Shafi Shah, a resident of Bandipora, and six other residents of Jammu & Kashmir, who allegedly worked for the terror outfit.
The agency said it filed a criminal case of money laundering after taking cognisance of a National Investigating Agency (NIA) charge sheet filed against Salahuddin, Shah and others under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Action (UAPA) and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.
"Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, the most active terror outfit in Kashmir, has been responsible for funding terrorist and secessionist activities in Jammu & Kashmir.
"Headed by Syed Salahuddin, its self-styled commander based out of Rawalpindi in Pakistan, it funds terrorism on Indian soil through monies organised by a trust called JKART (Jammu & Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust) in alleged connivance with the ISI and other Pakistan-based entities," the ED said in a statement.
