Supreme Court Grants Bail to UAE-Based Businessman in Kashmir Terror Funding Case
The Supreme Court granted bail to 72-year-old UAE-based businessman Naval Kishore Kapoor, accused in the Kashmir terror funding case linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Kashmiri businessman Zahoor Ahmad Shah Watali. Kapoor, arrested in July 2018 and charged with conspiracy and terror funding under the UAPA, has spent over eight years in custody. The court noted the trial's prolonged duration due to numerous witnesses and allowed bail despite stringent UAPA provisions, with provisions to recall bail if trial delays occur.
