Jammu: An officer of the Jammu and Kashmir administration has been booked in a disproportionate assets case by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, an official spokesperson said on Tuesday.
An FIR was registered against Noor Alam, deputy secretary ARI and Trainings, on Monday after verifying the allegations that he holds assets disproportionate to his known sources of income.
During verification, it was found that Alam, when posted as the block development officer (BDO) and assistant development commissioner (ACD) in Rajouri, Reasi and Jammu districts, had raised assets illegally, he said.
