Srinagar, National Conference President and Indian Parliament member Farooq Abdullah did not appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Srinagar on Thursday for an investigation in a money laundering case. This case is connected to the alleged financial irregularities within the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Farooq Abdullah was summoned by the ED, but he failed to make an appearance at the agency’s office. In 2022, a charge sheet was filed against Abdullah in relation to the money laundering case.
Abdullah has communicated with the ED office in Srinagar, citing health reasons for his absence. He sent an email and an in-person communication seeking an exemption from appearing for the investigation on these grounds.
The ED had specifically summoned the veteran Jammu and Kashmir leader for questioning at its Srinagar office as part of the ongoing investigation into the case.
