NEW DELHI: The enforcement directorate on Saturday attached assets worth Rs 11.86 crore of National Conference president Farooq Abdullah and others in connection with Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) money laundering case.
The agency has issued a provisional attachment order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and the attached properties are located in Jammu and Srinagar, officials said.
"The attached properties include three residential houses, one at Gupkar Road, Srinagar; one at Tehsil Katipora, Tanmarg, one at Bhatindi in Jammu and commercial buildings on posh Residency Road area of Srinagar," ED officials said.
Terming the ED attachment order as 'baseless', former J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah said the matter will be taken up in the court.
"There can be no justification for ED seizures as properties are largely ancestral; the action would be fought in court of law. Not surprisingly the media was tipped off regarding the seizure before he had received any official notice or documentation," Omar Abdullah said in a series of tweets.
The Enforcement Directorate had questioned the former J&K chief minister in October in Srinagar.
