The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided the home of Hurriyat leader Qazi Ahmed Yasir in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Thursday.
On Thursday morning, a team of ED officials and security officers raided the house. More information is awaited. Yasir’s illegal shopping complex was demolished by the Anantnag district administration last month.
Qazi Ahmed Yasir is a renowned scholar and former Mirwaiz of South Kashmir in Kashmir. He was removed as Mirwaiz in 2018 after a video purportedly showing him in an obscene act with a woman surfaced.
However, the case is being investigated by a body of socio, political, legal and religious activists from the Kashmir valley.
Since 2018 he has been in jail.
He was a member of the All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) led by its chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. Earlier in a major crackdown, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) also sealed the APHC head office in Rajbagh, Srinagar.
