The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday said it has issued fresh summons to separatist leader Shabbir Shah for June 6 in a 2005 case of laundering money used to fund terror activities in the Kashmir Valley.
According to ED officials, if Shah again fails to appear, the agency will approach a court to get an arrest warrant issued against him.
Earlier, the financial investigating agency had issued summons to Shah on May 25, but he didn't come.
In 2005, the Delhi Police's Special Cell had arrested alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani with cash and firearms, who later confessed to passing on a huge amount of cash to the separatist leader.
The ED then registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against Shah and Wani.
