Rs 1 cr detected in govt employee’s account
Property worth crores too found

Srinagar, July 29
The Jammu and Kashmir State Vigilance Organisation (SVO) has unearthed a large number of movable and immovable assets worth crores of rupees in the name of Housing Board’s Deputy General Manager and Executive Engineer Mohammad Ramzan Nadaf.

The recovery of passbooks and other documents revealed that there is Rs 1 crore in the name of the accused in his 16 bank accounts, a SVO spokesman said.

He said the recovery was made by the SVO officials after a corruption case was registered against Nadaf early this month.

As regards the immovable assets, it has surfaced that Nadaf has spent over Rs 1 crore on the construction of a palatial house at Qamarwari, in downtown.

The scrutiny of incriminating documents such as personal diaries, passbooks and other documents seized from Nadaf’s house has unravelled 16 accounts in various branches of the Jammu and Kashmir Bank.

Accounts had been traced in the Parimpora, Amira Kadal, Poloview, Shaheed Gunj, Nabeera Complex and Air Cargo branches of the JK Bank. An account maintained in Canara Bank had also been located.

Investigations have ascertained possession of a cash balance of more than Rs 1 crore in these accounts and fixed deposits, the spokesman said.

A locker containing gold jewellery worth about Rs 5 lakh in the Shaheed Gunj branch of the JK Bank had also been traced.

It was also found that two plots bearing No 61 and 62 had been purchased by the accused in SDA Colony, Bemina, Srinagar, at a cost of Rs 18 lakh in 2004.

The possession of as many as 12 LIC policies whose yearly premium is about Rs 2.16 lakh have also been detected by the Vigilance officials, the spokesman said.

The Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, who announced a war against corruption recently has also mentioned about the accused official.

He said it was surprising that a government employee had Rs 1 crore bank balance and was also paying Rs 2 lakh yearly premium to LIC. — UNI

Ayodhya attack: UP Police gets
transit remand of terrorists’ links
Tribune News Service

Jammu, July 29
The four contacts of the terrorists who attacked the Ayodhya temple earlier this month, were today granted transit remand by a local court to enable the UP Police to take them from here for further investigations.

The UP Police is likely to take them to Panipat where they will be interrogated to ascertain the names of those persons whom they handed over the arms and ammunition that they carried in a Tata Sumo which was modified to conceal the AK rifles.

The four, including Mohammad Naseem and Asif Iqbal, were arrested in the Mendhar area of the Poonch district by central agencies that traced a mobile phone call that was made by the terrorists to these contacts.

Iqbal had reportedly got his Sumo modified at a workshop at Pampore near Srinagar to conceal the arm and ammunition to Panipat where these were delivered to the terrorists who attacked the temple.

Sources said the police would also investigate whether some local residents of Panipat were also involved in the transaction.

Asif Iqbal was earlier contacted by two terrorists, Dawood and Umar, at Sakhi Maidan in Mendhar where he was motivated to work for them. They gave him Rs 1 lakh. Subsequently, he went to Srinagar in the third week of May where he got his Sumo modified for transporting 5 AK rifles and ammunition to Panipat.
