The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet in a Delhi court against Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah in a money laundering case of 2005.
In the charge sheet, the ED said that Shah admitted to talking to LeT chief Hafiz Sayeed on phone to inform him about developments in Jammu and Kashmir. He last spoke to Saeed in January 2017, the ED said.
Furthermore, Shah received funds from terror outfits in Pakistan to promote terror activities in J-K and others parts of India, ED said.

The development comes in the wake of the court extending the judicial custody of Shah and alleged hawala dealer, Muhammad Aslam Wani till September 27.
Shah and Muhammad Aslam Wani were presented in the court of Additional Sessions Judge Sidharth Sharma through video-conferencing on the expiry of their 14-day judicial custody.
Shah was arrested by the ED on 25 July while Wani was apprehended on 6 August.
Wani had allegedly confessed that he had passed on Rs.2.25 crore in hawala money to Shah. The Directorate had registered a criminal case against them under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
