The first group of beneficiaries of the Roshni Rs 25,000 crore scam in Srinagar “exposed” by the J&K management includes the former finance minister and former PDP member Haseeb Drabu and three members of his family (each has an earth kanal), Congress member and owner of the Broadway hotel in Srinagar KK Amla (more than 11 kanal went to Amla and about one kanal each for his three relatives), retired IAS officer Mohd Shafi Pandit and his wife, and hotelier Mushtaq Ahmad Chaya and his son.
Since the beneficiaries of the land allocation include the rich and famous of J&K, the implementation of the HC order will mark arguably the biggest push to claim award-winning public real estate from the elite. One source indicated that the names of some political heavyweights could soon be uploaded as part of the beneficiary list.
