The Delhi High Court on Thursday (Sep 13) granted bail to Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali, a Srinagar based businessman in a terror funding case.

A bench of Justices S Muralidhar and Vinod Goel directed him to furnish a personal bond of Rs two lakh with two sureties of like amount.

Watali had earlier approached Patiala House court for bail but it was turned down after which Watali moved Delhi HC.

Watali was arrested on August 17, 2017. On January 18, he was charge-sheeted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) along with Hafiz Saeed, Syed Salahuddin, seven Kashmiri separatist leaders and others for alleged terror funding in the Kashmir Valley.
