Srinagar, Apr 06: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday attached movable properties in the form of bank balances worth Rs one crore related to some of the accused, including mastermind Yatin Yadav, in the 2022 police sub-inspector scam in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
The ED Spokesman revealed that in Jammu, the agency has seized movable properties, specifically bank balances, pertaining to the accused Yatin Yadav, M/s New Global Fumigation Corporation (owned by Yatin Yadav), and his associate Lokesh Kumar.
“The total value of the attached assets amounts to approximately Rs 1 crore. This action has been taken under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. The case is linked to the paper leak of an examination conducted by the J&K Services Selection Board (JKSSB) for the recruitment of 1200 Sub-Inspectors of J&K Police,” he said.
The spokesman said that the accused, including Yatin Yadav, are alleged to have sought monetary benefits through this illicit activity.
The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) conducted the examination in March 2022 but the selected list of 1,200 candidates was cancelled by the administration in July following allegations of paper leak and malpractice.
The CBI filed its chargesheet against 33 accused, including Yadav from Haryana, in November 2022.
Subsequently, the ED, Jammu, registered a case against the accused under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
