Early Times Report

Rajouri, Mar 4: Jubiliant over appointment of Ataat Husain as Registrar, the Student leaders of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU) Rajouri have expressed resentment over delay in probe into infamous scholarship scam that was exposed in 2015.
R Farooq and other student leaders have demanded CBI investigation in the scam as, according to them, the police have `hushed up the probe' under political pressure.
"The appointment of new Registrar is a welcome step for the betterment of the university," the leaders said. They had struggled hard to get the former registrar removed for his alleged involvement in the scam.
After month long strike by the students of B.Tech and other departments the then Vice Chancellor I A Hamal had sent Ch Rashid on forced leave. Pertinently, a case under Sections 420/467/468/471/489 and 109 RPC was registered in Darhal police station on a complaint of J&K Bank Darhal Branch Manager.
Accordingly a case FIR NO 46/15 against bank employee namely Aizaz Malik who had created fake accounts to misappropriate scholarship money and was found involved during internal inquiry on the complaint of ex-BGSBU student namely Masood Ahmed.
The scam came into light when one Massood Ahmed produced his scholarship cheque bearing No 263697 di 22/9/13 in the bank for transfer of Rs 22300/- into his account but to his surprise the transaction was refused by the bank officials as the money already had been transferred into another account -a fake one.
The Bank initiated an inquiry and it was established that Aizaz had got the cheque number and amount (scholarship cheques) from Muzzafar Hussain posted in scholarship branch and was transferring the money into fake accounts.
J&K Bank approached the police against Aizaz and was also terminated from services. Police started investigation and the then SSP Dr Haseeb Mughal had constituted a SIT and during investigation it was established that Rs 13,48,659 lakh have been misappropriated by Muzzafar Hussain clerk in nexus with Azaz malik. The then SSP Rajouri Dr Mughal disclosed that under CD-II accounts Muzaafar had also fraudulently withdrawn Rs 4,28,557/- against local traders namely M/s Kusum Pen & Book House Rajouri (Rs 85,000 & Rs21,213) and Sanjay Ghai ( Rs 3,22,344 lakh ).
The SIT constituted to probe the case also had summoned the Registrar and Deputy Registrar (Finance) to record their statements and police also had collected and sent samples of their handwriting to FSL as they have refuted the allegations of signing the cheques.
