The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday filed a chargesheet against Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah and alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani in connection with an ongoing money laundering case.
The agency filed the chargesheet in the court of Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma against the two accused persons under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The court fixed the next date of hearing in the case till September 27 when the two accused, currently in judicial custody, would be presented before it through video-conferencing.
Shah was arrested by the ED on July 25 in a money laundering case of 2005. The ED arrested Wani on August 6. Wani had allegedly confessed that he had passed on Rs 2.25 crore in hawala money to Shah.
