ED Summons Former J&K Chief Minister Over Massive Money Laundering; Details Inside

Jammu and Kashmir: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Farooq Abdullah, the National Conference chief and former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, for questioning in connection to a money laundering case. The summons, issued on Wednesday, requires Farooq Abdullah to appear at the ED office on Thursday, January 11.

According to available information, the ED sent the summons to the former CM, specifically related to the money laundering case involving the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association. The ED had previously filed a charge sheet in this matter in the year 2022.

The case pertains to the Cricket Association, with the ED having filed a charge sheet in 2022 against Farooq Abdullah for his alleged involvement in the scam. Alongside Abdullah, Ahsan Ahmed Mirza and Mir Manzoor Ghazanfar, officials of the then Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association, were also named as accused. The charge sheet was presented in a court in Jammu and Kashmir, accusing Abdullah and others of money laundering.

This entire controversy revolves around the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association, and the ED had already taken action by seizing immovable property worth Rs 21.55 crore. This included the assets of Farooq Abdullah, Ahsan Ahmed Mirza, and Mir Manzoor.

The ED asserted that cash was withdrawn from the bank account of JKCA without valid reasons, and funds were transferred to various private accounts. Several officials associated with the association were implicated in these financial irregularities.

The ED initiated the investigation based on the FIR lodged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in July 2018. The CBI’s FIR highlighted incorrect reporting of losses by JKCA and alleged a benefit of Rs 43.69 crore intended for individuals associated with it.
