State Vigilance Organization today registered a case under various provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act and RPC against Block Investigator, District Industries Centre Kupwara and Proprietors of two cattle feed units of Kupwara district for fraudulently misappropriating transport subsidy in the year 1999.
The enquiry into the allegations of misappropriation of transport subsidy by the officials of District Industries Centre (DIC) Kupwara in league with SSI Unit holders has revealed that transport subsidy amounting to lakhs of rupees has been dishonestly and fraudulently drawn and misappropriated by the DIC officials. The officials of DIC Kupwara and the proprietors of SSI Units viz M/s Kehmil, Mawar and Chinar Cattle Feed Unit under a well knit conspiracy hatched during 1996-97, have fraudulently drawn subsidy for transporting wheat brawn by trucks from Rail Head Jammu to their unit sites in Kupwara district when major portion of 664 trucks claimed to have been used did not actually reach these units. The DIC official(s) were found to have given factually incorrect verification / consumption certificates to facilitate the drawl of transport subsidy amounting to lakhs of rupees drawn in 1999.
The enquiry has further revealed that other ingredients required for manufacture of cattle feed including molasses, fish meal, oil cake were shown to have been purchased locally from firms which on verification were found to be non-existent, thereby giving further credence to the fraudulent drawl of subsidy for transportation of the main ingredient, i.e. wheat brawn from Rail Head Jammu.
The enquiry has found that the subsidy amount released in favour of M/s Mawar Cattle Fields was actually received by A.Q Lone S/o Abdul Majid Lone R/o Udhipura, Handwara and not the proprietor of the firm Abdul Karim Lone S/o Haji Mukhtar R/o Udhipura, Handwara. Similarly, the transport subsidy released in favour of M/s Kehmil Feeds was credited to the account of Mohammed Maqbool S/o Rustum Mir R/o Panzgam, an illiterate person, shown as the proprietor of the unit, though his bank account carried photograph of Mehraj-ud-Din Mir who received the subsidy. Mehraj-ud-Din happens to be son of a DIC official (Block Investigator) Kupwara namely Ghulam Nabi Mir who was found involved in giving false verification certificate for drawing the subsidy. |
