ED files charge sheet against Al Badr Mujahideen operatives

Srinagar: The ED on Wednesday filed a charge sheet against two suspected operatives of militant outfit Al Badr Mujahideen in connection with its money laundering probe against them. The central probe agency said it filed the charge sheet, called prosecution compliant in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) parlance, against Khurshid Ahmad Bhat and Inayatullah Shah before a special court here.

The case dates back to 2009 when Kashmir police arrested the duo and seized Rs 50,000, a Chinese grenade and some incriminating documents "related to militancy".

The agency registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) based on the police FIR.
