Srinagar: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Jammu and Kashmir has issued a notice to former chief minister Mehbooba Mufti asking her whether she had verbally or otherwise endorsed the recommendations made by some ministers in the PDP-BJP government for appointments in J&K Bank.
“During the course of investigations of case FIR No. 10/2019 police station ACBK dated 08/06/2019, it has surfaced that some appointments were made by chairman J&K Bank on references of recommendation of few ministers.
“It may please be clarified that whether such references had your endorsement, verbal or otherwise, for appointments in J&K Bank,” read the ACB notice to Mehbooba issued on Saturday.
Mehbooba posted the notice on Twitter, saying she was not surprised by the development.
“Not surprised to receive a letter from the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Concerted efforts are being made to browbeat mainstream leaders & thwart potential efforts for a collective response. I am too small an entity vis a vis the cause that unites us today. Such tactics won’t work,” she wrote.
