Not surprised to receive a letter from Anti-Corruption Bureau: Mehbooba

Srinagar, Aug 04 (PTK): former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti today said that she was not surprised to receive a letter from Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

Mehbooba Mufti wrote on twitter “Not surprised to receive a letter from the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Concerted efforts are being made to browbeat mainstream leaders & thwart potential efforts for a collective response. I am too small an entity vis a vis the cause that unites us today. Such tactics won’t work (sic)”.

Earlier Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) asked Mehbooba Mufti to explain her position before it regarding the illegal recruitments in Jammu and Kashmir Bank.

In a letter No: SSP/ACBK/FIR-10/2019/3064 dated 03-08-2019, SSP, ACB, has asked Mehbooba, “During the course of investigation of case FIR No 10/2019, police station ACBK dated 08-06-2019, it has surfaced that some appointments were made by Chairman J&K Bank on references and recommendations of few ministers.”

“It may please be clarified whether such references had your endorsement, verbal or otherwise for appointments in J&K Bank,” it added. (PTK)
