The Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau has filed a chargesheet against 11 accused persons, including four officials of the Srinagar Municipal Corporation and seven private beneficiaries, in an alleged illegal construction case, officials said on Monday.
The chargesheet was presented before the Court of the Additional Special Judge, Anti-Corruption, Srinagar, in connection with a 2020 FIR registered under the provisions of the Jammu and Kashmir Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 120-B of the RPC.
The case pertains to the construction of six illegal structures at Jawahar Nagar, Gonikhan, Hari Singh High Street, and Wazir Bagh without obtaining proper building permissions, allegedly in connivance with SMC officials.
The ACB said the investigation, based on oral and documentary evidence, substantiated the charges and established a conspiracy between the officials and the beneficiaries.
After obtaining prosecution sanction from the government, the chargesheet was filed for judicial determination. The next hearing is scheduled for June 16.
