JAMMU: Over 300 girls are admitted to a vocational centre operated by Moulana Ali Miyan Nadwi Educational and Charitable Trust (MAMNECT) at Bathindi area whereas over 130 religious centres have been constructed by this trust along National Highway and border areas from Kathua to Ramban.
The so-called vocational centre, meant for religious teachings, constructed on 5 kanal state land had admitted girls from various states including Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan besides from rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Tehsildar Bahu, in a written reply to Crime Branch, has confirmed that the 5-kanal land is a government land, encroached by the Moulana Ali Miyan Nadwi Educational and Charitable Trust led by Moulana Shakeel-Ur-Rehman Bhat.
Apprehending that the government may retrieve this encroached land and illegally constructed building, the MAMNECT had decided not to allow summer vacations this year to the inmates.
A five-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a senior Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) has been constituted to investigate the FIR (27/23) registered under Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act with the Economics Offences Wing (EOW) of Jammu Crime Branch to probe misuse of funds received from various foreign based NGOs, contrary to the aims and objectives described in the trust deed of Moulana Ali Miyan Nadwi Educational and Charitable Trust (MAMNECT)Bathindi Jammu.
The main accused, Moulana Shakeel-Ur-Rehman Bhat, son of Ab. Hamid Bhat, resident of Sangaldan Gool District Ramban, at present Aisha Nagar Bathindi Jammu, has allegedly constructed numerous religious centres and so-called vocational centres on encroached government lands in J&K. Sources said that a detailed probe will expose many scandals operating under this Trust. Keeping in view the vast financial scam and anti-national activities, a five-member SIT has been constituted to probe the entire scandal.
The Trust Association headed by the Moulana Shakeel-Ur-Rehman Bhat, son of Ab. Hamid Bhat, resident of Sangaldan Gool District Ramban at present Aisha Nagar Bathindi Jammu in connivance with Gowhar Ayoub, son of Mohd. Ayoub , resident of Maitra Tehsil and District Ramban at present resident of 158 ESWYN Road SW 198 TN London UK and others have committed criminal breach of trust by misusing Foreign Contributions/Financial Aid received from various NGOs based in foreign countries contrary to the aims and objectives described in the trust deed of Moulana Ali Miyan Nadwi Educational and Charitable Trust Bathindi Jammu (MAMNECT) intentionally and fraudulently for their personal gain and in contravention to Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act. 2010.
Here it is relevant to mention that on July 7, the Kishtwar administration had taken over the possession of two madrassas being run by MAMNECT in Tatani Saroor area of the district. The action was initiated following allegations of violating the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) regulations. Action under law is likely to be taken against other religious centres and madarassas being run by MAMNECT.
