NEW DELHI; Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a money laundering case against former Jammu and Kashmir Chairman of Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE) Mushtaq Ahmad Peer in connection with an alleged question paper scam in the state.  

The central agency took over the case after going through the FIR of the Jammu and Kashmir Police registered in this case earlier.  

ED, according to sources, has identified Peer's assets and bank accounts in Delhi and Kashmir for possible attachment as "proceeds of crime" derived from alleged corruption money of the scam.  

Peer may soon be questioned in this case.  

The Crime Branch had submitted a charge sheet, in the Common Entrance Test paper leak case, against Peer and 24 others two days ago before the Special Judge (Anti Corruption), Kashmir, M L Manhas at his residence in Jammu.  

The 31-page charge sheet, sources said, has been filed against Peer, the main accused in the scam along with his accomplices including Farooq Ahmad Yatoo, alleged broker Sajad Ahmed Bhat, Haroon and Farooq Ahmad Shah who allegedly purchased the papers from Peer and then sold them to students for a hefty fee.  

The charge sheet has named 12 students and 9 parents of whom Bhat, Haroon and Shah have already been arrested. (Agencies)
