As per the details available with "Early Times", the issue came to fore after vigilance Organization raided the toll post on Jan 3, 2015 and recovered the cash in excess from there. After conducting the raid at Lower Munda Toll Post, the SVO sleuths sought the details of the officers who have overstayed at the said Toll Post and came to know that Inspector Saleem Akbar who happened to be the close relative of a former senior National Conference minister was posted in the toll post in January 2008 while under normal circumstance, the stay for post of the excise Inspector at any place could not go beyond maximum three years, but this close relative of former Minister in Omar's cabinet, has been calling the shots for the past over seven years.
