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.
