J&K Separatist Leader of Banned Group Received Triple Pension Hike via Govt Funds

Ghulam Nabi Sumji, a separatist leader heading a banned organization in Jammu & Kashmir, was found to have been drawing a government pension, according to information obtained through an RTI query. His monthly pension was revised upward not once but three separate times, growing from approximately Rs 24,000 to Rs 60,000. The revelation has raised serious questions about the disbursement of public funds to individuals associated with banned outfits. The details emerged through a Right to Information response, highlighting a potential lapse in administrative oversight. Authorities have yet to publicly respond to the controversy surrounding the pension approvals.
