SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered a disproportionate assets case against a Girdawar posted at Tehsil Headquarters Gandoh in Doda district, alleging that his assets exceed his known sources of income.
According to an official statement, the case has been registered as FIR No. 03/2026 under Sections 13(1)(b) read with 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, at Police Station ACB Doda against Mohd. Iqbal, son of late Ghulam Qadir, a resident of Goilbar Alni, Gangota, who is currently posted as a Girdawar at Tehsil Headquarters Gandoh.
The case follows a verification conducted by the ACB’s Doda-Kishtwar-Ramban (DKR) unit into allegations that the official had accumulated movable and immovable assets in his own name and in the names of his family members.
The properties allegedly include four commercial buildings, two residential buildings and two plots in Doda and Jammu districts. The assets also include a vehicle, expensive household items and bank accounts, the ACB said.
According to the bureau, the verification found that the value of the assets was disproportionate to the official’s known sources of income from lawful sources, providing grounds for registration of the case.
During the investigation, the ACB obtained a search warrant from the competent court and conducted searches at the accused’s residential and commercial properties and office premises in Doda and Jammu districts. The searches were carried out in the presence of magistrates and independent witnesses.
Further investigation is in progress, the ACB said.
