ED files chargesheet against Farooq Abdullah in money laundering case

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate has filed a chargesheet against former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Farooq Abdullah in the case of money laundering by former office bearers of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA).

The ED is looking into allegations of financial irregularities at the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) during Farooq Abdullah’s tenure as president from 2001 to 2012.

On June 4, the ED filed a supplemental prosecution case against Farooq Abdullah, Ahsan Ahmad Mirza, Mir Manzoor Gazanffer, and others before the Special PMLA Court in Srinagar, pursuant to the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA).
The case has been acknowledged by the special PMLA court, and the accused have been given notices to appear in court on August 27.

The supplemental complaint was filed after the ED attached moveable and immovable assets worth Rs 21.55 crore belonging to Farooq Abdullah and others.

The ED has questioned the 84-year-old National Conference leader numerous times over the issue. The ED claimed that Abdullah had in the past “misused” his authority as the president of the JKCA by appointing people to positions inside the sports organisation in order to launder BCCI-sponsored funds.
