NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has sought response from the Enforcement Directorate on the bail plea of Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah, arrested in a decade-old money laundering case for alleged terror financing.
The application was moved before Additional Sessions Judge Satish Kumar Arora on the ground of parity after the Delhi High Court recently granted bail to co-accused and alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani in the case.
The court has directed ED’s Special Public Prosecutor N K Matta to file a reply to Shah’s application by February 23, when the court will hear the matter.
The application submitted that the accused was wrongly and falsely implicated in the case.
Advocate M S Khan moved the bail application on behalf of Shah, saying that Wani has already been granted bail and that there was lack of evidence against Shah.
The case was registered in 2007 for the alleged offence committed in 2005 and the accused was arrested on July 25, 2017. (AGENCIES)
