Srinagar, Nov 21 National Conference President Farooq Abdullah on Thursday demanded a detailed probe into the allegations of bribery involving Gautam Adani and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdullah was responding to reports that the US Department of Justice has indicted the founder of Adani Group, Gautam Adani; his nephew Sagar Adani, and others for allegedly bribing or offering bribes to Indian government officials to get them to sign solar power contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Member Parliament said he hoped that the central government will take the allegations seriously and will investigate it thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey should probe how it happened and what is the reason behind it?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NC President said there were allegations against Adani before as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not know much about it. All I can say is that an investigation should be carried out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abdullah said that every allegation of corruption in Jammu and Kashmir would be investigated by the government as officials of J&K are also in dock after the bribery allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are reports that Adani Green had \u201cbribed\u201d government officials in Jammu and Kashmir and other states in the country, to get their power distribution companies (discoms) to commit to purchasing solar power at above market rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know many things and investigation of several things will be carried out. All this will be revealed,”Abdullah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former JK Chief Minister said there was also an allegation in the past about Rs. 3,000 crore corruption in the Jal Shakti scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Slowly but surely, everything will come out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
