Shah was arrested by the Special Cell of Delhi Police March 20, 2013 while he was returning from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to the Kashmir Valley via Nepal. He was later released on bail.

Jammu and Kashmir Police had protested the arrest, saying Shah was returning home as per the state government's policy of allowing people, who had ex-filtrated to PoK in the early 1990s, to come back.
