Srinagar,
The Enforcement Directorate has filed a supplementary chargesheet against former chief minister and NC president, Farooq Abdullah, in a money laundering case.
Abdullah was earlier summoned and questioned in connection with the scam in Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JCKA). The ED had earlier attached his properties while an an FIR bearing No. 27/2012 dated 10th March, 2012 was registered under Section 409,406, and 120-B RPC in Police Station, Ram Mushi Bagh, in connection with “misappropriation” of funds of the JKCA.
The 83-year-old parliamentarian has said his ancestral and family properties in J&K have been illegally attached by ED despite the fact that it had “no jurisdiction to do the same.”
The investigation of the case was transferred to the CBI in September 2015 by virtue of an order passed in a PIL—Majid Yakoob Dar and Another vs. State of JK and Ors.
After investigation, the CBI filed its final report and the matter is pending trial before the Designated Court. The multi-crore scam is also being investigated by the ED.
