The Enforcement Directorate (ED)has summoned National Conference (NC) president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah for questioning in a money laundering case in Delhi on May 31, according to official sources on Friday.
The questioning is said to be in connection with a federal agency investigation into alleged financial irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA). The summons was issued in accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for appearance at its headquarters in this city on May 31.
In this case, ED attached Abdullah's assets worth Rs 11.86 crore in 2020. The ED has questioned the 84-year-old NC patron several times in the case.
The ED claimed that Abdullah had previously "misused" his position as president of the JKCA by making appointments in the sports body to launder BCCI-sponsored funds.
