The Enforcement Directorate is questioning former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah. Farooq Abdullah is being questioned at the ED office in Chandigarh's Sector 18. This has heated up the political atmosphere here. It is not yet clear in which case the inquiry is taking place. However, he is reportedly being questioned over the scam in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association.
According to media reports, Farooq Abdullah reached the ED's office under heavy security cordon and went inside. He was accompanied by his lawyer, but he was not allowed inside. During this time, strict security has been put in and around the ED office and no one is allowed to enter ed's office premises. The team of officers was involved in the interrogation. No information is being given about the interrogation on behalf of ED. Asked about this, ED was informed that information about the case would be given later. Farooq Abdullah was being questioned until the news was written.
In detail, the CBI had filed a charge sheet in a Srinagar court against Farooq Abdullah and three others in connection with alleged irregularities and embezzlement in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) funds. The agency had charged the then JKCA Chairman Abdullah, then General Secretary Mohammed Salim Khan, then Treasurer Ahsan Ahmed Mirza and Bashir Ahmed Misgar, an employee of J&K Bank, for criminal conspiracy and fraud. Rs 112 crore was given for the development of the facilities, but the accused embezzled Rs 43.69 crore out of this amount. The interrogation of ED from Farooq Abdullah is still going on.
