Delhi HC denies bail to businessman in terror case

The Delhi High Court has denied bail to Dubai businessman Naval Kishore Kapoor in a 2017 terror funding case linked to separatist leader Yasin Malik. The court cited strong evidence of Kapoor's involvement in funding secessionist activities in Kashmir. Kapoor was arrested in 2018 and charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The National Investigation Agency claims he aided another accused in transferring foreign funds to support terrorism in the region. The court noted the risk of Kapoor fleeing due to his residence in Dubai and the potential for evidence tampering. Kapoor's lawyer argued for bail, citing the lengthy custody period and questioning the validity of the charges.
