Srinagar, June 15: The Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has filed a chargesheet against two accused persons, including a Junior Engineer of the J&K Housing Board and his wife, in a disproportionate assets case before the Court of Special Judge, Anti-Corruption, Srinagar.
According to the ACB, the chargesheet was filed in FIR No. 18/2020 registered under Sections 5(1)(e) read with 5(2) of the J&K Prevention of Corruption Act, Samvat 2006, and Section 109 of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) at Police Station ACB Srinagar.
The accused have been identified as Tariq Ahmad Ganie, Junior Engineer in the J&K Housing Board, son of Ghulam Qadir Ganie, and his wife, Rukhsana Jan, an Anganwadi worker in the ICDS Department. Both are residents of Aali Gund, Chandergam, Tral.
The case was registered following a verification conducted by the ACB into allegations that Tariq Ahmad Ganie had acquired assets disproportionate to his known sources of income. The verification reportedly revealed substantial financial transactions involving crores of rupees in various bank accounts linked to the accused.
During the investigation, the ACB examined the financial records and assets of both the public servant and his wife. The probe, according to the agency, substantiated the allegations of possession of disproportionate assets.
After obtaining the requisite sanction for prosecution from the competent authority, the ACB presented the chargesheet before the Special Judge, Anti-Corruption, Srinagar, for judicial determination.
