Srinagar: The Crime Branch Kashmir (CBK) produced a challan against six persons for their alleged involvement in grabbing the land of Wakf board, situated at Rangpora Zakoora.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday the CBK has produced a challan in a case under FIR number 22/2012 under sections 420, 468, 467, 471, 120-B RPC and 5(2) PC Act against the six accused persons before the Court of Additional District and Session Judge Anti-Corruption Srinagar.

“Consequent upon the written complaint received from the then Secretary Waqf Board, wherein the complainant alleged that the land measuring 6.6 Kanals, situated at Rangpora Zakoora of Wakf Board, was shown alienated in favour of Ishtaq Ahmad Ashai by way of fabricating Order No. 360-64 Dated 05.08.2003,” the statement reads.
It added that the order was shown issued under the forged signatures of then Vice Chairman Muslim Auqaf Trust. “Accordingly after conducting a preliminary verification, a case FIR No. 22/2012 was registered,” CBK said.
“The investigation conducted has established the offences mentioned above against the six accused persons who have hatched criminal conspiracy with one another and thereby have been able to grab the land situated at Rangpora Zakoora belonging to the Wakf Board. The land was found transferred through a fake NOC issued by the accused person,” the statement said.
It added that the investigation further revealed that the land was actually to be leased out but instead the Officers/Officials of Wakf Board in connivance with the accused land brokers issued the forged order and fake NOC regarding the alienation of land and thus managed to get the land sold illegally, who happen to be the employees of Wakf Board
