Baramulla, October 19, 2026: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Jammu and Kashmir, has filed a charge sheet against Mudasir Ahmad Najar, a Postal Assistant posted at Sub Post Office Bandipora, in a bribery case involving the alleged demand and acceptance of Rs 6,500 in connection with the release of a subsidy under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP).
According to the case details, a complaint was received at Police Station ACB Baramulla alleging that the accused had demanded illegal gratification from the complainant for facilitating the release of the subsidy component of a loan sanctioned under the PMEGP scheme.
The complainant had availed financial assistance through the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), Pampore, for business activities at Bandipora. An amount of ₹1,75,000 was reportedly pending as subsidy, subject to physical verification and geo-tagging by the concerned official.
Following the complaint, the ACB conducted discreet verification, which led to the registration of a formal case at Police Station ACB Baramulla under FIR No. 05/2025, under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
During the investigation, the ACB stated that the accused was caught red-handed while allegedly demanding and accepting ₹6,500 from the complainant. He was subsequently arrested and taken into custody.
The investigation was later concluded as proved, and the requisite sanction for prosecution was obtained from the competent authority after consideration of the material collected against the accused.
Accordingly, the charge sheet was presented before the Hon’ble Court of the Special Judge, Anti-Corruption, Baramulla, on October 19, 2026, against Mudasir Ahmad Najar for trial and judicial determination.
The matter will now be decided by the competent court in accordance with the law.
