Property of former KCCI president Mubeen Shah attached in Srinagar

Counter Intelligence Kashmir seizes the Dalgate residence of the businessman, who was declared a proclaimed offender last year after moving to Malaysia.

Authorities on Wednesday attached the house and land belonging to Mubeen Ahmad Shah, the former president of the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), located in the Dalgate area of Srinagar.

A team from Counter Intelligence Kashmir executed the attachment order following a directive from a designated National Investigation Agency (NIA) court, which declared Shah a proclaimed offender in December last year.

Shah was originally detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA) in August 2019 during the security crackdown preceding the abrogation of Article 370.

Following his subsequent release on court orders, he relocated to Malaysia, and the current property seizure is linked to an ongoing investigation into funding and subversive activities involving the United Jihad Council and local secessionist networks.
