SRINAGAR: In occupied Kashmir, India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken possession of assets worth over six crores in connection with a false case against noted Kashmiri businessman, Zahoor Ahmed Watali.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the ED agency said, these properties are in the form of land parcels and located in two villages of Budgam district. The assets are in the name of Watali and his family, it added.
The ED had attached these properties in April this year under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Presently, Watali is lodged in New Delhi’s infamous Tihar Jail in connection with a fake case registered against him by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA).

IOK remains on edge as lockdown enters 115th day
The occupied Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley, continues to remain on edge as unprecedented military lockdown entered 115th running day, today.
According to Kashmir Media Service, though uneasy calm and uncertainty prevail in the Valley yet life remains badly affected there as restrictions under Section 144 remain enforced, shops and business centers are mostly shut and few turn up to educational institutions and offices.
Internet gag persists while prepaid mobile and text messaging services also remain in shutdown mode. However, landline phones and voice calls on postpaid cellular networks are partially functioning in the Valley but they could not mitigate the sufferings of the people.
The increasing chill has also added to the miseries of the already suffering people of the occupied territory.
