JKCA scam: Police seeks bail cancellation of two prime accused 5/19/2015 12:08:18 AM Bashir Assad Early Times Report Srinagar, May18: The police on Monday sought cancellation of bail of two prime accused in the multi-crore cricket in J&K Cricket Association (JKCA). The J&K High Court had earlier issued a notice to former Chief Minister and JKCA president Farooq Abdullah in the case involving alleged misappropriation of funds to the tune of Rs 40 crore. The court had also directed the investigating officer to file a 'proper' status report about the investigation conducted so far into the FIR registered in 2012 by or before the next date of hearing on May 19. Mohammad Saleem Khan (ex-general secretary JKCA) and Ahsan Ahmad Mirza (ex-treasurer) were earlier booked by police investigators for creation/operation of bogus bank accounts in JKCA. Both had managed to secure bail. Now police investigators want the bail to be cancelled so that they are interrogated in custody. The scam that surfaced includes names of 10 JKCA members (including Farooq Abdullah) in FIR No. 27/2012 under Sections 406, 168 and 120-B of the RPC for making the JKCA a lending agency and for operating many bogus accounts. Earlier, the police said they couldn't take action against the accused due to involvement of certain high-profile name in the scam. "Besides we weren't provided with accountants," said a police official. "Now, we have placed the same demand with the new dispensation." The scam swung back to center-stage after High Court recently served notice to Farooq Abdullah. The High Court is hearing the case again on Tuesday. The High Court has passed certain directions in the case on basis of the PIL that is pending disposal.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
