Srinagar — The Jammu & Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has booked a Patwari of the Revenue Department, M A Khan, in a disproportionate assets (DA) case after an extensive discreet verification confirmed serious financial irregularities beyond his known sources of income.
The case was initiated following a complaint received against Khan, a resident of Doniwari Lolab in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district. The complainant alleged that Khan was living a lavish lifestyle and possessed multiple high-value properties including agricultural land and orchards, residential houses in Bemina, Srinagar and Doniwari Lolab, multiple vehicles, and had reportedly spent large sums as donations for the admission of his children in professional colleges.
According to ACB officials, the discreet verification revealed that Khan had acquired multiple assets and incurred heavy expenditures during the check period, which were prima facie disproportionate to his legitimate income. Among the major findings were:
-
Purchase of land and construction of a double-storey house at Hamdaniya Colony, Bemina, Srinagar
-
Construction of a second house at Doniwari Lolab, Kupwara
-
Purchase of a Hyundai Venue car and a two-wheeler
-
Substantial loan repayments
-
High spending on children’s education, including MBBS admission abroad and nursing studies in Amritsar
