Overview
- The NIA, which filed a fifth supplementary chargesheet Friday, added a Section 17 terror-funding count that the special court accepted and shared with Majeed.
- The agency alleges a Kuwaiti national sent Majeed $1,000 via a money-transfer service while he was in Baghdad, forming the basis of the new count.
- The case has heard 77 prosecution witnesses, and the next hearing is set for May 11 after Majeed, who is out on bail, sought time for his law exams.
- Last month the court issued proclamations for Fahad Shaikh, Saheem Tanki and Aman Tandel to appear within a month or risk being declared proclaimed offenders.
- Section 17 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act punishes raising or providing terror funds with five years to life, and it applies even if the money was not used.
