EARLY TIMES REPORT

JAMMU, Oct 15: Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) attached the properties worth crores belonging to the then Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC)/Chairman BOCA and Parvaiz Ahmad Bakshi, the then Block Manager in J&K State Forest Corporation (SFC).
Based on verification conducted by ACB, FIR No 03/2020 u/s 13(1) (b) r/w 13 (2) of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 was registered against Parvaiz Ahmad Bakshi, son of Abdul Majid Bakshi of Khankah-i-Moula Sopore A/P Shams Abad Bemina Srinagar (Block Manager in J&K State Forest Corporation). He accumulated huge immovable properties, highly disproportionate to his known sources of income. The searches were conducted simultaneously in Srinagar & Jammu by the teams of ACB in pursuance to the warrants obtained from Court of Special Judge Baramulla. During searches various incriminating documents were recovered leading to several properties of the accused. The life style of the accused officer was also found quite lavish and incommensurate with his status as a public servant and income thereof. He was arrested by ACB. 9 Kanals land at Pattan, Baramulla worth 87 lakh and 7 Marlas plot with structure costing Rs 20 lakh was attached by ACB. Kuldeep Khajuria, the then Commissioner Municipal Corporation Jammu/ Chairman BOCA was accused of acquiring huge properties/ assets both movable and immovable worth crores of rupees in his name and in the name of his family members. The assets/properties were raised by him during his service period by resorting to illegal and corrupt practices which are disproportionate to his known sources of income. It is pertinent to mention here that the accused Kuldeep Khajuria retired as Secretary from Govt. Service in December, 2016. The properties were found to have been acquired by him during his service period since 1984 to 2016. He remained on various lucrative posts viz Deputy Commissioner, Poonch, Special Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department, Commissioner Jammu Municipal Corporation, Vice Chairman, JDA, Director Urban Local Bodies, Jammu and Secretary, RDD. Thus in consequence of his indulgement in corrupt and illegal practices, the officer acquired huge assets, both movable and immovable by investing proceeds of his ill-gotten money in such properties/assets. The facts related to disproportionate assets of the accused disclose commission of criminal misconduct under section 13(1) (b) r/w section 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988. Consequently, a case FIR No. 27/2019 was registered against him. 3 flats and other properties worth more than 1.5 crore were attached by ACB. Further investigations in both the cases is going on.
