The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a chargesheet against Farooq Abdullah in connection with the multi-crore Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) scam case.
According to news agency PTI, Farooq Abdullah and three others have been charged under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and criminal breach of trust.
In January this year, Central Bureau of Investigation questioned Farooq Abdullah in connection with Rs 113 crore Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) irregularity scam.
The scam came into light in 2012 with misappropriation of Rs. 1.90 crore when the then association chairman Muhammad Aslam Goni accused the association’s general secretary Saleem Khan and treasurer Ahsan Mirza of syphoning the money by transferring into an account not related to the JKCA.
Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Assosiation accounts were frozen following a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by two cricketers- Majid Yaqoob Dar and Nissar Ahmad Khan- seeking to dig deeper into the alleged scam.
