India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a money laundering case against six residents of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, sparking concerns among legal experts who believe it is part of an ongoing effort to implicate innocent Kashmiris. According to Kashmir Media Service, the accused, including Mohammad Iqbal Bakerwal, Muddasar Ali, Abdul Jalil, Akhtar Mir, Parvez Mir and Iqbal Mir have been charged under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The Special Court in Jammu has issued notices to the accused. The ED had previously attached movable and immovable properties worth Rs. 1.85 crore, including bank accounts, fixed deposits, and land. Legal experts deplored that New Delhi is framing innocent Kashmiris to target their properties for potential confiscation under various pretexts.
