Wani, who worked in the Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution Department at Banihal, faces charges of acquiring movable and immovable assets beyond his declared earnings.

The case was initiated following a secret verification conducted by the ACB into allegations that the said official had acquired disproportionate assets (DA) during his tenure of service, he said.

“Wani has accumulated significant assets including a residential house at Gujjar Nagar, Jammu, double storey house at Maitra Ramban, a residential complex along with three shops at Chareel in Banihal, vehicles, financial documents and other evidence suggesting unaccounted wealth,” he said.
