New Delhi/July,26: A court here on Wednesday sent separatist leader Shabir Shah, arrested on charges of money laundering, to seven days custody with the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma allowed the agency to quiz Shah for a week. Shah, arrested on Tuesday by the ED in the Kashmir Valley, was then flown to New Delhi on Wednesday.
Police sources said ED officials executed a non-bailable warrant issued against Shah by a Delhi court.
Shah was shifted from his uptown Sant Nagar residence in Srinagar to a police station in Budgam district on Tuesday evening after his arrest.
Seven other separatist leaders, arrested on Monday by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), were produced before the designated NIA court in New Delhi on Tuesday.
The court remanded them in NIA custody for 10 days for interrogation over allegations that they got funds to sponsor subversive activities in the Kashmir valley.
