New Delhi: Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a money laundering case against former Jammu and Kashmir Chairman of Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE) Mushtaq Ahmad Peer in connection with an alleged question paper scam in the state.
The central agency took over the case after going through the FIR of the Jammu and Kashmir Police registered in this case earlier.
ED, according to sources, has identified Peer's assets and bank accounts in Delhi and Kashmir for possible attachment as “proceeds of crime” derived from alleged corruption money of the scam.
Peer may soon be questioned in this case.
The Crime Branch had submitted a charge sheet, in the Common Entrance Test paper leak case, against Peer and 24 others two days ago before the Special Judge (Anti Corruption), Kashmir, M L Manhas at his residence in Jammu.
