Srinagar, June 26 (IANS) The J&K Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Wednesday filed a case against a Deputy Superintendent of Police for owning disproportionate assets, officials said.
An ACB spokesperson, in a statement, said that the case was filed against DSP Chanchal Singh after a probe revealed that the accused officer, during lucrative postings, had indulged in corrupt practices, to accumulate various moveable and immoveable properties in his own name and in the names of his family members and relatives as well as ‘benami’ (proxy) properties.

“During the course of the investigation, after obtaining search warrants from the court, searches were conducted at the residences/offices of the accused as well as family members/relatives including residential houses and business establishments located at different places of Jammu, Srinagar & Manali. During searches, many incriminating documents and valuables were found, which were seized and taken for investigation purposes,” the ACB statement said.
