On 25 November 2025, ED’s Srinagar team filed a charge sheet against Abdul Momin Peer and his wife Syed Sadaf Andarabi in the money laundering case. This charge sheet was filed in the PMLA Special Court of Jammu. The court has sent notice to both the accused to appear on 12 December 2025.
ED had started this investigation on the basis of an FIR. Which was registered under NDPS Act in Handwara Police Station in 2020. Later this case was taken over by NIA and it was registered under sections of UAPA, NDPS Act and IPC. NIA has already filed chargesheet and supplementary chargesheet against 14 people including Abdul Momin Peer in this case.
Has been arrested twice before
ED investigation revealed that Abdul Momin Peer has been arrested twice with heroin since 2017. He was involved in drug smuggling and drug supply for a long time. He earned around Rs 2.15 crore by selling heroin and taking transportation charges from other accused. With this black money, he bought a house in the name of his wife located on plot number 79 in Bemina Haig Colony, Srinagar. The price of this house is said to be Rs 1.5 crore.
ED says that Abdul Momin Peer tried to whitewash the money earned by selling drugs by calling it his business income. For this, he bought property in his wife’s name and showed this money in his bank accounts as legal income.

During investigation, it became clear that both Abdul Momin Peer and Syed Sadaf Andarabi were part of the entire network of money laundering. Earning black money, hiding it, spending it and making it look like clean money. Due to all these reasons, action has been taken against both of them under Section 3 and 4 of PMLA. In this case, ED has already attached property worth Rs 1.5 crore. The investigation is still going on.
