| Who are ‘money-minting Dar brothers’ in SFA? Probe agency wants to know | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 25: Even as the Jammu and Kashmir government “is set to order high-level probe into the alleged multi-crore scam” at the State Football Academy or SFA established by the previous Peoples Democratic Party led government under “mysterious circumstances”, details of fortunes grabbed by “Dar brothers”, a footballer duo from Srinagar, has left the investigators “shocked.”
Sources said during preliminary investigations into the complaints about the wrongdoings at the SFA, the officials have got to know that “Dar Brothers” have been the “main beneficiaries of the scam.”
Sources said out of the 2.26 crores approved by the then government for the football academy in 2018, a “huge amount illegally landed in the bank accounts of the Dar brothers, who happen to be government employees.”
Official documents reveal that apart from lakhs getting deposited into the personal accounts of the “Dar brothers”, the government money was also being illegally transferred into their other private accounts including those meant for private business ventures. Official sources said the “Dar brothers were given key positions in the SFA in the violation of the norms out of sheer favoritism.”
“The prima facie of the case suggests that it’s a big scam where not only government money has been looted but that the favorites of the then government were unlawfully given key postings in the State Football academy for reasons better known to them,” said a senior official on the condition of anonymity.
He said what was also to be probed is that as to why the SFA was established with separate funds when the football was already being promoted and was among the favorite games in Jammu and Kashmir.
As already reported by the Early Times, the Modi government has got inputs about a major scam in the SFA and that it wants the case be taken to its logical conclusion.
“Modi government doesn’t tolerate any scams and the case will be registered soon,” said a senior official on the condition of anonymity. |
