J&K anti-corruption Bureau unearths illegal land exchange scam in high security Gupkar

Srinagar, Oct 11 (UNI ) The Jammu and Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has unearthed a major land exchange scam involving prime property in Srinagar’s high-security Gupkar area. Officials allegedly approved an illegal swap of government and proprietary land, resulting in losses worth crores to the state exchequer.
According to the ACB, the land exchange took place in 2014–15, when a patch of proprietary land in Gupkar—whose title was under the Defence Ordinance—was exchanged for a high-value custodian land parcel. The original owner of the proprietary land had approached the Revenue Department seeking easement rights, but the file remained pending for years.
Subsequently, officials allegedly devised a plan to develop the area as a colony for senior government officers, citing security reasons. When the Custodian and Revenue Departments later processed the case, official records clearly stated that the tenancy of the land was with the Defence Estates. However, the documents were allegedly approved in violation of these facts, facilitating the land exchange.
