Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which was probing cricket fund scam in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Court is ready to register a case for the same. The CBI has however refused to reveal whether a basic and inductive enquiry will be registered or it will directly file a regular case in connection with the alleged mishandling and wrongdoing of funds. The prime reason for CBI to not divulge its investigation process is fine, because if they tell the method that they are using they won’t be able to get all the evidence that is needed in this case.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, The CBI was handed the case by J&K court on September 3, 2015. The bench consisted of justices— N Paul Vasanthakumar and Bansi Lal Bhatt. According to the judges CBI had the capability to get to the root of the case. The court had ordered the CBI two weeks ago to probe into the cricket fund scam which runs in crores of rupees. It involved many officials of Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) and also former CM of J&K Farooq Abdullah. The fund scam came to surface in March 2012 when it was found in reports that the money that was to be used for popularising cricket in J&K was pushed to diverse accounts by JKCA office bearers with deceitful intention. Two state cricketers— Abdul Majid Dar and Nisar Ahmad Khan had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and owing to it the court’s order was passed in the PIL on September 3, 2015.
