Jammu and Kashmir police today formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) for in-depth investigations into alleged misappropriation of funds in Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA).
According to a senior police officer, supervising the investigations, SIT was formed today and is headed by Sub-divisional Police officer (SDPO) Nehru Park Ghulam Geelani Wani.
The team includes two inspectors, two sub-inspectors and some other staff. The police officer said that it will take time to conclude the case. “We have seized a lot of documents and it will take time to study them,” he said, adding that investigating team is working on the issue at a fast pace.
The police officer said that it is premature to say that weather there would be more arrests or no. “Let us investigate and it will decide the future course of action,” the police officer said.
The police on Saturday registered a case against two former officials of JKCA following allegations of misappropriation of funds, received by the body from the BCCI.
A case was registered at Ram Munshi Bagh Police station vide FIR number 27/2012 based on the complaint lodged by JKCA chairman Muhammad Aslam Goni against the then treasurer Ehsan Mirza and then general secretary Mohammad Saleem Khan.
Mirza, who was elected general secretary of the JKCA last year and Khan, who was chief administrative officer, were asked to step down on Wednesday after the present treasurer Manzoor Wazir detected financial irregularities in the JKCA's accounts.
Goni said Mirza has accepted that some funds of the association were lying with them but did not mention the amount. Police on Saturday seized the records of the Association while the two accused have applied for anticipatory bail in a court.
