SRINAGAR: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday filed a chargesheet against former chief minister Farooq Abdullah and three others in alleged multi-crore scam in Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association. According to the CBI chargesheet, huge amounts of money were transferred from the bank accounts of the JKCA into those of its office bearers and other unconnected individuals.
Mr Abdullah and other accused have been charged under relevant sections of Ranbir Penal Code including Sections 406, 168 and 120-B related to fraud, criminal conspiracy and breach of trust. The J&K High Court had in September 2015 ordered a probe by the CBI into the over 100 crore scam in the JKCA after observing that the investigations by the J&K police lacked both speed and credibility and that lack of will to dig out those involved in it was writ large on the face of its performance.
