New Delhi, April 17, 2019 (PPI-OT): India’s Enforcement Directorate has attached assets worth millions of Rupees of illegally detained Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Ahmed Watali in a false case registered against him in occupied Kashmir. The ED in a statement issued in New Delhi said that a provisional order had been issued for attaching lands in Sozeith Goripora, Narbal and Budgam areas belonging to Zahoor Watali and his family members that are worth Rs 6.19 crore.
The ED case is based on a charge-sheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as part of its probe in the case. The agency had last month similarly attached Rs 1.03 crore assets of Watali in Gurgaon city in the Indian state of Haryana in this case.
Zahoor Watali along with Hizbul Mujahideen chief, Syed Salahuddin, and other Kashmiris has been accused by the NIA of “conspiring to wage a war against the Indian government” and fomenting trouble in the Kashmir Valley. Watali is presently lodged in New Delhi’s infamous Tihar Jail.
