Srinagar, Sep 11: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday filed a petition in a court in Srinagar, urging it to take cognizance of fresh allegations against National Conference (NC) chief, Farooq Abdullah regarding his alleged involvement in Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) scam.
IPC Section 411 deals with the offence of dishonestly receiving or retaining stolen property. It states that whoever dishonestly receives or retains stolen property, knowing or having reason to believe it to be stolen, can be punished with imprisonment of up to three years, or with a fine, or both.
In its earlier chargesheet, the ED said that between 2006 and January 2012, when Abdullah was the JKCA president, he misused his position to make illegal appointments of office-bearers to whom he gave financial powers for the purpose of laundering funds
“Investigation also reveals that Dr Farooq Abdullah was instrumental as well as beneficiary of the laundered funds of JKCA,” said the chargesheet, adding that Rs 45 crore was diverted from JKCA’s coffers.
