New Delhi: A Delhi court today sent alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani, arrested in connection with a decade-old money laundering case involving Kashmiri separatist Shabir Shah, to Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody till August 14.

Wani, who was arrested by the ED this morning, was produced before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sumit Dass, who allowed the probe agency to interrogate him in custody.

A sessions court here issued an open-ended non-bailable warrant (NBW) against Wani yesterday after the ED told the court he had not joined the probe. An open-ended NBW, unlike the NBW, does not carry a time limit for its execution.

The ED’s special public prosecutor NK Matta today told the court that Wani was required to be confronted with Shah, also in the agency’s custody, in connection with the case.

The counsel sought 14-day custody, saying new information had surfaced during Shah’s interrogation. According to an official, Wani, 36, was arrested from Srinagar by the ED with the help of the state police.
