Jammu. The Jammu and Kashmir government has recommended a CBI probe into allegations made by former governor Satya Pal Malik that he was offered a bribe of Rs 300 crore. On 17 October 2021, Malik said at a function in Rajasthan, “Two files had come to me. One of the secretaries told me that if I approve these, I may get Rs 150-150 crore. Rejected the offer saying that I have come to Kashmir with five ‘kurta-pyjamas’ and will leave with that.”
Malik had alleged that he was offered Rs 300 crore in return for clearing the files of two big industrial houses. However, he refused to take the money and canceled the deals.
Following such serious allegations by a former governor, the J&K government has recommended that the CBI investigate the matter, to ascertain the facts and details.
