In the Union Territory of J&K, National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah did not appear before the Enforcement Directorate today for questioning in a money laundering case. According to official sources, Dr. Abdullah was called by the central agency at its Srinagar office in connection with an ED investigation into alleged irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA). He was
charge-sheeted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the JKCA case in 2022.
The case relates to siphoning off the funds of the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association by way of transfer to various personal bank accounts of unrelated parties, including those of JKCA office bearers, and by way of unexplained cash withdrawals from JKCA bank accounts.
