NEW DELHIL: The Indian Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday summoned Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief Yasin Malik and leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani in different money laundering and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) cases, reports foreign media.
The two cases date back to 2001 and 2002 respectively. Earlier in June 2002, USD 10,000 were allegedly found during searches by the Income Tax department at Geelani's residence in Hyderpora. The leader was unable to declare the source of funds and was not able to give a satisfactory answer to the I-T department.
Similarly in 2001, the police allegedly seized one lakh dollars from Mushtaq Ahmad Dar and his wife Shazia Rasool. During examination, Dar was reported to have said that the money was handed over to him by a Nepal-based citizen and was to be handed over to Yasin Malik.
