Budgam, Apr 13: A day after the Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau filed a chargesheet against 22 individuals including Member of Parliament Aga Ruhullah in connection with an alleged fraudulent land compensation case, Ruhullah termed the move “a frivolous attempt” to silence him for his political views.
Addressing a press conference, Ruhullah denied any wrongdoing in the land compensation case related to Durbal Bemina, saying the matter is nearly two decades old and he was only a legal heir to his grandfather’s land.
Ruhullah explained that the land in question was inherited from his grandfather, who owned about 90 kanals in Durbal Bemina, an area where land was acquired by the government as part of a rehabilitation initiative for Dal Lake dwellers & at that time, compensation was provided not just based on revenue records but also on the actual possession of land.
My family received compensation for around 40-50 kanals despite more than 90-kanlal being under our possession. I, along with my siblings, received a nominal share about Rs 80,000 each transferred through my uncle’s account , said MP
