Farooq Abdullah

New Delhi: National Conference president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in a money laundering case, according to officials.

Farooq Abdullah has been questioned by the ED in the past reportedly in connection with a case of alleged financial irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA).

The ED has alleged that Abdullah “misused” his position as the president of the JKCA in the past and made appointments in the sports body so that the BCCI sponsored funds could be laundered.
