JnK: ED attaches assets in MBBS seats scam

Speaking to the Times of India, ED has said “Investigation revealed that the money was received in their personal accounts and the accounts of Al-Jabar Trust, a charitable organisation, and further used for terrorist activities, including disbursing money to stone pelters and terrorists operating in Kashmir”.

During the investigation, the police also found out that the average price of an MBBS seat was between Rs 10 to 12 lakh. According to the Deccan Chronicle media news report, the police stated that “In some cases, the price was brought down on sifarish (recommendation) of Hurriyat leaders. In other words, depending upon the political heft of a Hurriyat leader who intervened, concessions were extended to the aspiring student and his family”.

Police also further stated, “However, these accounts were used to receive funds from the students and further ploughed into the terrorist activities in India in various ways such as distributing money to stone pelters, providing money to the persons/terrorists based in J&K on the instructions of Pakistan handlers such as Manzoor Ahmad Shah and Altaf Ahmad Bhat”.
