Already chargesheeted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police's State Investigation Agency (SIA) in the infamous "selling MBBS seats" scam, Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has filed FIR against Kashmiri Hurriyat leader Alfat Ahmed Bhat in a Rs 100 crore graft case.
According to reports, Altaf Ahmed Bhat, who is a Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terrorist turned Hurriyat leader, was arrested by the Pakistani agencies in connection with this scam.
