On 4 November 2022, the Directorate of Enforcement an organization housed within the Department of Revenue in the Ministry of Finance, expropriated the house of Shabir Ahmad Shah under the Money laundering Act. Shah is a leading pro-self-determination Kashmiri political activist. Most property seized in November and December was due to alleged ties to Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu & Kashmir (JeI), a leading Islamic socio-religious movement founded in Jammu & Kashmir in 1953 and bannedby Indian authorities in February 2019. |
