In Jammu and Kashmir, many brokers, including many present and retired officers of the administration, are accused in the arms license case issued by ignoring all the rules. A top officer of the Enforcement Directorate said that the case was started under the Money Laundering Act on the basis of an FIR registered by the Special Crime Branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation. In this, the then Deputy Commissioner of Kupwara district and other officials are accused.

The Directorate claims that it has come to know that many officers of Jammu and Kashmir have made arms licenses of many fake people in connivance with touts, bypassing all the rules and regulations. The officials have deposited the amount in their bank accounts in the name of their relatives.

The ED official said that raids were conducted at 11 different places in Jammu and Kashmir last week. The raids were carried out on the premises of several retired officers and their touts. In this raid, in addition to cash and jewelery worth 2.5 crore rupees, many incriminating documents were also recovered.
