Shah was arrested in Srinagar on Tuesday night and is expected to be brought to Delhi on Wednesday.

Shah's arrest comes a day after National Investigation Agency (NIA) held seven separatist leaders, including Syed Ali Shah Geelani's son-in law Altaf Fantosh, on charges of receiving funds from Pakistan to sponsor terror activities and stone-pelting protests in the Kashmir Valley.

ED had issued multiple summons to Shah over the last few years, but he never deposed before the central investigating agency.  

Earlier this month, a non-bailable warrant (NBW) was also issued by the Delhi court against the separatist leader.

On Monday, the NIA arrested seven Separatists, Altaf Ahmad Shah alias Funtoosh, Ayaz Akbar Khandey, Raja Mehrajuddin Kalwal, Peer Saifullah, Aftab Hilali Shah alias Shahid-ul-Islam, Nayeem Khan and Farooq Ahmad Dar alias Bitta Karate, over money laundering charges for funding terror in the Kashmir Valley.
