NIA seizes Kashmiri businessman Watali's properties in major terror-funding case

Srinagar, June 12: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken action in a terror-funding case by attaching properties belonging to businessman Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali in Kupwara district, Jammu and Kashmir.

Officials confirmed that the NIA team attached the immovable properties registered under Watali's name in the villages of Baghatpora and Kachwari, located in the Handwara area of the north Kashmir district.

The attached properties primarily consist of land owned by Watali, who is an accused in the terror funding case. The decision to attach these properties was made based on an order issued by the Special NIA court in New Delhi in May.
