J&K ACB Files FIR in Reasi Ration Diversion Case Naming Ex-TSO

Overview

• The Anti-Corruption Bureau, which registered FIR No. 06/2026 on Tuesday, named ex‑TSO Pranav Gandotra and other Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution officials at its Udhampur police station.
• Agency records say Gandotra, posted in Arnas and Dharmari from April 2011 to January 2013, received 22,298.80 quintals of ration beyond the sanctioned quota.
• Investigators report about Rs 103.63 lakh was drawn as transportation and carriage payments tied to the same consignments.
• The bureau alleges the extra stock never reached government depots and was sold on the black market, causing a loss to the public exchequer.
• ACB says the investigation will determine the roles of additional officials, a push that could tighten checks across Jammu and Kashmir’s public food distribution system.
