| ED arrests ex-treasurer of J&K cricket association | | | Agencies
NEW DELHI, Sept 4: The Enforcement Directorate has arrested Ahsan Ahmad Mirza, the then treasurer of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA), in connection with alleged misappropriation of funds to the tune of Rs 43 crore.
In the same case, the agency had recorded the statement of former State Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah at its Chandigarh office in July.
The money laundering probe is based on an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation in September 2015, following a directive from the Jammu and Kashmir High Court.
The alleged scam was unearthed in 2012, after which an FIR was lodged at a Srinagar police station.
About a year ago, the CBI filed a chargesheet against Abdullah, as the then president of Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association; its then general secretary Mohammed Salim Khan; treasurer Ahsan Ahmed Mirza; and senior J&K Bank executive Basheer Ahmad Misgar.
The agency alleged that between 2002 and 2011, the Board of Control for Cricket in India had granted Rs 112 crore to the State Association for infrastructure development and cricket promotion. Of the total amount, Rs 43.69 crore was allegedly siphoned off and misappropriated.
According to the CBI, the then Association president had conspired with the treasurer and others for misappropriating the funds.
"The then treasurer could not explain the transactions under investigation. He has been arrested for alleged involvement in money laundering," said an ED official. |
