Between 2019 and end-March 2026, the J&K Anti-Corruption Bureau received 23,798 complaints, converted 2.24% of those into FIRs, filed 214 chargesheets, and secured exactly 27 convictions — a 12.6% courtroom strike rate that survives only because almost no complaint reaches a courtroom in the first place. Around the same week the data came out, Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma told reporters that water, power and road crises were going unaddressed because senior officials and ministers were 'invisible on the ground', preoccupied with 'marathons, cycling, skiing and 5-star dinners.'
ACB figures published in mid-April 2026 show that over six years the Jammu & Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau received 23,798 complaints. Of those, 534 became FIRs (a 2.24% conversion). Of those FIRs, 214 went to court as chargesheets. Of those, 27 ended in conviction — a 12.6% rate at the courtroom and a roughly 0.11% rate measured against the original complaint volume. On April 24, BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition in the J&K Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma told the press that the elected administration had effectively gone missing since the October 2024 polls — that ministers were 'invisible on the ground' while water, power and road crises bit, and that senior officials were preoccupied with 'marathons, cycling, skiing and 5-star dinners.' He added that nothing moves through a tehsildar or BDO 'unless he is paid', and that the inter-cadre transfer racket was 'wide open.' The ACB's own published numbers are, embarrassingly, not a counter-argument.
