Mehbooba Mufti Slams J&K Govt Over Transfer Of ACB Official

(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- Peoples' Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti said Friday the transfer of an Anti-Corruption Bureau official, who was probing a case, exposes a“nexus” between the corrupt and most powerful, and raises questions about the Jammu and Kashmir government's commitment to justice and accountability.

The government has ordered the repatriation of ACB SSP Abdul Wahid, designated as Assistant Inspector General (AIG), to the Home Department as part of a rejig in the anti-graft body.

Wahid was investigating alleged corruption in the Srinagar Smart City Project and recently booked two of its senior officers in disproportionate assets (DA) cases.

“The removal of Abdul Wahid & his colleagues from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) highlights the risks faced by officials who challenge corruption. It exposes nexus between the corrupt & most powerful,” Mufti said in a post on X.

She said the act of“punishing the whistleblower” has revealed the government's true intentions behind using various agencies including the ACB to raid properties of Kashmiris“under the guise of corruption investigations”.
