The Jammu & Kashmir administration sacked four government employees without an enquiry under Article 311 of the Constitution of India for their involvement in anti-national activities.

Those sacked are Dr. Muheet Ahmad Bhat (scientist-D at the University of Kashmir), Majid Hussain Qadri (senior assistant professor at the University of Kashmir), Syed Abdul Mueed (Manager IT, JKEDI) and wife of top JKLF terrorist Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate, Assabah-ul-Arjamand Khan, (Publicity, Directorate of Rural Development, Kashmir).

The activities of these employees had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they have been found involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the security of the state.

Here are the details of all four sacked govt employees:

Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate is currently in judicial custody in terror-funding cases, officials said. His wife, Assabah-ul-Arjamand Khan, a Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services officer, was posted in the Directorate of Rural Development.

Assabah is a 2011 batch JKAS officer and a diehard secessionist having deep ties with terrorist outfits and the ISI. She came in the spotlight during Karate’s trial. Assabah first got a job at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Science and Technology in 2003.

She allegedly got an appointment through the backdoor and appeared to have been managed by someone in the administration. It has come to light that between 2003 and 2007 she was absent from work for months and was sacked in August 2007.
