Omar’s crusade against corruption


                 DVOs themselves have cases pending against them or under investigation

By Sunny Sangral 
GNS JAMMU, : At a time when Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is making tall claims of fighting corruption in Jammu and Kashmir through State Vigilance Organisation (SVO), there are several Department Vigilance Officers (DVO)s against whom cases of corruption are pending. 
This has been relived by a RTI filed by a activist recently. 
As per the reply of the state government, M. L Raina, ACD Jammu (Divisional Level DVO for RDD), has a FIR No. 23/97 P/S VOJ pending against him for alleged misappropriation of funds during his tenure as ADC Poonch. Though the case was challaned and later Raina was acquitted by the court, but sources said that he had several complaints against him. 
Another DVO, Prem Nath, Superintending Engineer (Divisional Level DVI for UEED) has a FIR No 05/2010 P/S VOJ registered against him for his alleged misuse of funds as his capacity as then XEN PHE Div 1st Jammu. The case is still under investigation.

Deep Raj, Deputy Director (District Level DVO for CA&PD department Rajouri had a FIR no 13/09 P/S VOJ registered against him for the alleged misuse of funds as a capacity as Assistant Director CAPD Jammu. The case was closed, but it raises serious question why such people have been made to fight against the menace of corruption. 
Arshad Mughal, DFO SFC, district level VOS for Social Forestry Department Rajouri figured in case FIR no 01/2008 P/S VOJ in his capacity as Divisional Manager SFC has a case pending for investigation against him. 
Vikram Dewan, treasury Office Town Hall Jammu is at present district Level DVO for Finance Department had a FIR no. 79, 80/99 P/S against him. Case was challaned and is subjdice before the Court of law. Besides Vikram Dewan then A IPP among others figured in case FIR no. 9/2001 P/S VOJ which was closed as not proved. 
“This shows the background of people who are flag bearers of the anti-corruption crusade launched by the Omar Abdullah led government. How partial will be their investigation”, claimed a source. 
Surprisingly officials said that information has been prepared on the basis of available record and namesake of some old DVOs matches with some FIRs/Enquiries but no definite information regarding their involvement and otherwise in the cases, enquiries can be given as their pervious details are not available in the office.
