Jammu- The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday conducted simultaneous raids at several locations in Jammu and Kashmir, including the premises of former minister Babu Singh. Official sources said the operation was carried out as part of its investigation into a drug-related money laundering case.
Six locations in Srinagar and two in Jammu are being covered under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Sources said the case is related to a drug-related money laundering case, which was first detected by the Union Territory police in March 2022, when a person named Mohammad Sharif Shah was caught trying to deliver hawala money of Rs 6.9 lakh to Jatinder Singh alias Babu Singh alias Jatinder Singh from Kashmir to Jammu.
He said that this money was meant to fund separatist and secessionist groups to carry out anti-constitutional activities in Jammu. The agencies found an alleged nexus involving Saif Din, Farooq Ahmed Naikoo, Mubashir Mushtaq Fafu, where Pakistan-based operators were running a narco-terrorist module to fund anti-constitutional activities.
