- The CBI has formally accused Satyapal Malik, the ex-governor of Jammu and Kashmir, along with five others, of corruption related to the Kiru hydropower project in Jammu.
- The charges stem from a 2022 FIR and a subsequent three-year investigation into alleged irregularities in awarding a ₹2,200-crore contract for construction activities related to the Kiru Hydro Electric Power Project.
- The charge sheet names six others including Patel Engineering officials, former Chenab Valley Power Project executives, and Malik's private secretaries, with allegations of ignoring e-tendering rules.
- In 2021, Malik stated that he was offered a ₹300 crore bribe in connection with the approval of two official files related to the project, but he has denied any wrongdoing and described the raids by the investigating agency as efforts to intimidate him.
- The filing indicates intensified scrutiny of project-related contracts and suggests ongoing legal proceedings could impact public-sector governance in the region.
