Delhi High Court Grants Bail to Naga Insurgent in Money Laundering CasePreviousNext

The Delhi High Court granted bail to Masasasong Ao, an alleged Naga insurgent, in a money laundering case investigated by the Enforcement Directorate. The case stems from a 2021 investigation following the arrest of Alemla Jamir, a self-styled NSCN-IM cabinet minister, who was caught carrying Rs 72 lakh at Delhi airport in 2019. Ao was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in 2022 and is also accused in a related UAPA case by the National Investigation Agency involving extortion and terror funding.
