Medical exam leak scandal: ED freezes properties worth Rs 1.31 crore

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken decisive action in the ongoing money laundering investigation related to the Jammu and Kashmir CET-2012 medical examination paper leak. A fresh attachment order has been issued for properties valued at Rs 1.31 crore.

The agency has frozen four properties located in Srinagar and nearby areas. These assets belong to Sajad Hussain Bhat, Mohd Amin Ganie, Suhail Ahmad Wani and Shabir Ahmad Dar. The move follows an interim order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The case originates from a police FIR against Mushtaq Ahmed Peer, the former president of BOPEE, and others involved in the sale of leaked exam papers. Earlier, Peer’s assets worth Rs 60 lakh were attached, and he along with his associates have been charged under the PMLA.
