| IPS officers of J&K richer than IAS babus, reveal IPRs | | | Syed Junaid Hashmi
JAMMU, Jan 9: Barring eight to nine IPS officers, most of the Jammu and Kashmir cadre IPS officers have shown palatial houses and other properties either on their name or in the name of one of their family members in the Immoveable Property Returns (IPRs) filed by them before Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
To begin with, a well-connected IPS officer has residential houses both at Srinagar and in Jammu. But he has been unable to assess cost of both the houses. Keeping in view location of these houses in the posh localities of Jammu and Srinagar city, independent evaluators put cost of both the houses in crores. They maintain that since the construction has been A-grade, cost may be much higher.
Another IPS officer has seemingly become rich after joining police services. He began by purchasing a residential plot in a village. Presently, the said IPS officer who is holding an important position owns more than huge spreads in Kanals and all located at the prime locations.
A local IPS officer owns land worthy crores of rupees besides having two palatial houses in two posh localities of Jammu and Srinagar city. The said officer has enjoyed prize postings for most part of his career and is also currently holding an important position in the state police. Assessors put value of the officer's property in crores and assert that maintenance cost would be around lakhs per annum.
Another IPS officer owns more than big spread of land that too located in at prime location important cities in neighbouring state. Local assessors value the land in crore.
These 'bucks don't stop here' as another top cop of Jammu and Kashmir police, who is known for his integrity has few acres of land and plots at four different places in his home state.
Another Jammu and Kashmir based IPS officer owns immovable assets at three different locations. In his IPR, he has put the value of his property at around some lakhs whereas a Kashmir based local officer has property not only in the state but also outside including ownership of immovable assets in one of the southern states of the country.
However, he has stated in his IPR that value of the property changes with market and value of land depends on the climatic conditions. Another IPS officer owns more than 'hundred Kanals' of land in two different places in Kashmir valley. One of his two residential houses, located in a remote village of Kashmir valley, is located at a huge spread land underneath and around.
The said IPS officer has not mentioned present value of his property while a non-state subject IPS officer, who is also known for being honest and upright, has plots in three different villages' alongwith flats in two cities of a south-Indian state. He has put the present value of the property upto some lakhs.
The IPS officers often overshadow their competitors -the Babus IAS in the combined Civil Services Exam as the charm and job profile. Even the people around the society turn towards IPS officers for the glamour and fanfare attached to the IPS Uniform as compared to the Babus who are least seen at civil functions in routine affairs.
Early Times has withheld the names of officers, keeping in view the security risk involved in publishing addresses of the properties of these IPS officers who are serving the state in different capacities.
In-depth study of the IPRs reveals that IPS officers are far richer than IAS babus. Barring four IPS officers, one of whom is under suspension, all have costly assets and immovable properties on their name. A few may have inherited properties from their ancestors but is highly impossible that all have taken the same route. |
