SRINAGAR:
After attaching his Rs 60 lakh assets, ED today filed a charge sheet against former JK Chairman of Board of Professional Entrance Examination Mushtaq Ahmad Peer in connection with its money laundering probe in an alleged question paper leak scam in the state.
The charge sheet was filed in the Sessions court here under various section of Prevention of Money Laundering Act, six months after the Enforcement Directorate had registered a case against Peer which was based on an FIR of the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
The agency has named Peer’s daughter Iqra in the charge sheet alleging that the money of the proceeds of crime were sent to her bank account.
In its FIR, the ED has sought to continue investigations in the case to establish the role of other suspects including middlemen in the case.
ED had identified Peer’s assets and cash in bank accounts in Delhi and Kashmir and issued attachment orders identifying them as “proceeds of crime” derived from alleged corruption money of the scam.
Earlier, the JK Police’s Crime Branch had submitted a charge sheet, in the Common Entrance Test paper leak case, against Peer and 24 others before the Special Judge (Anti Corruption), Kashmir, M L Manhas, at his residence in Jammu.
This JK police charge sheet was filed against Peer, the main accused in the scam along with his accomplices including Farooq Ahmad Yatoo, alleged broker Sajad Ahmed Bhat, Haroon and Farooq Ahmad Shah who allegedly purchased the papers from Peer and then sold them to students for a hefty fee.
