"A discreet verification conducted by the bureau into the financial transactions and asset holdings revealed Bhat has accumulated assets grossly disproportionate to his known and legitimate sources of income," the ACB spokesperson said. The assets identified during the verification include a house situated at Firdousabad in Batamaloo, Srinagar, constructed on land measuring 11 marlas (1 marla = 272.25 square feet); an additional structure with appurtenant land measuring 6.5 marlas at the same location; and two plots of land measuring 10 marlas and 13 marlas at Mouza Nowgam in Srinagar, he said. Bhat possesses movable assets, including vehicles such as Toyota Fortuner, Maruti Wagon-R and Renault Duster. The verification brought to light substantial expenditures incurred on the higher education of his children, the ACB said. Scrutiny of bank accounts revealed multiple suspicious transactions and unexplained cash deposits. Bhat and his family members were found operating several bank lockers in J&K Bank, and were in possession of multiple immovable properties of considerable value. "The public servant was also found to be maintaining a lifestyle that is inconsistent with his declared income," the spokesperson said. A case was registered against Bhat at the ACB police station here for criminal misconduct, he said....
