SRINAGAR, Feb 12: National Conference (NC) President and former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with an alleged money laundering case. He has been asked to appear before the agency tomorrow (February 13). The case pertains to the alleged siphoning-off of Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) funds by way of transfer to various personal bank accounts of unrelated parties, including those of JKCA office bearers, and by way of unexplained cash withdrawals from JKCA bank accounts.
He was also issued summons by the central probe agency last month in connection with the money-laundering probe linked to the case. In July 2022, ED filed a supplementary chargesheet against Abdullah in the case. The ED initiated the money laundering investigation based on a chargesheet filed by the CBI on July 11, 2018, against six office bearers of JKCA in the case dated September 21, 2015, for the offenses under several sections of Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) pari-materia to several sections of IPC for wrongful loss to JKCA and corresponding wrongful gain to the accused persons to the tune of Rs 43.69 crore.
The quantum of proceeds of crime identified by ED in this case so far is Rs 51.90 crore, out of which assets worth Rs 21.55 crore have been attached by ED. The probe agency earlier arrested Ahsan Ahmad Mirza, the then treasurer of JKCA, on September 4, 2019, and a prosecution complaint was filed on November 1, 2019, against him. |
