| During Mehbooba's regime, Chief Minister's secret fund spent on 'boutique shopping' | | | Early Times Report
jammu, Apr 11: In a shocking development that hints at gross misuse of public money, former Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti has been accused of spending the secret funds on "buying goods from boutiques."
Sources said the Enforcement Directorate has access to the details on how Mehbooba spent the secret funds for her "personal or family benefits".
Sources said a particular section of details in the diary show that the money was also given to a "particular name" in the national capital of New Delhi.
"The name sounds like that of a woman but the point is that this particular name is a popular boutique brand in Delhi and this is something what needs to be probed," said the sources close the investigations. It was reliably learnt that the intelligence agencies have inputs that during her visits to the national capital Mehbooba would visit some boutiques in New Delhi.
"Almost every fortnight she would visit Delhi and would visit some particular designer outlets and parlors," said a source.
Sources said the ED may seek details of her visits to the national capital to ascertain if the government money was really spent on boutiques.
"Going to boutiques is not the issue but using public money for such visits is a really bad example of loot of public money," said a senior official on the condition of anonymity.
Sources said the ED got to know about such developments after it got access to a copy of the diary as maintained by the former Chief Minister during her tenure.
Mehbooba, who is also Peoples Democratic Party, President, has landed in trouble over the allegations against misuse of Chief Minister's secret funds.
She was recently questioned by the ED in the summer capital of Srinagar.
Mehbooba, however, has been calling it a witchhunt to muzzle voices which speak against the central government led by the Bharatiya Janta Party. |
