In a statement issued on Monday, the ACB stated that it had registered a case against Manzoor Ahmad Tantray of Ganderbal district, posted as a professor in NIT, Srinagar. The ACB said the professor possessed major immovable and movable assets and cash deposits in his name as well as in the name of his family members.
