Economic Offenses Wing Files Charges Against Fraudster in Kashmir
The Economic Offenses Wing in Kashmir has filed charges against a fraudster who impersonated a CID officer to scam people.
Srinagar, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : The Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) of Jammu and Kashmir has submitted a chargesheet against Ghulam Hasan Dar, a resident of Dhobi Ghat, Hazratbal, in a Srinagar sub-judge court. This action follows a written complaint alleging that Dar posed as a CID officer stationed in Delhi and deceived individuals into believing he could facilitate government jobs.
The complaint detailed how Dar assured a railway employee that he could arrange a transfer from Uttarakhand to Srinagar. Additionally, he promised a job as a ‘Nursing Orderly’ in the health department, providing the victim with a fake appointment letter and a forged deputation letter. Through these fraudulent activities, Dar reportedly scammed victims out of millions of rupees.
During the investigation, the allegations were found to be valid. As Dar is currently at large, the chargesheet was filed under Section 512 of the Criminal Procedure Code to allow for further legal proceedings.
The SSP of the Economic Offenses Wing has advised the public to verify the identities of anyone claiming to have government connections. He cautioned against paying any unauthorized individuals for government jobs or transfers and urged people to report any such fraud to the EOW.
Earlier in October, the Economic Offenses Wing had filed charges against two other individuals involved in a job scam. According to a statement from the EOW, charges were presented in a Jammu sub-judge court against Peerzada Abdul Hamid from Anantnag and Munir Hussain from Poonch. This case was registered under Sections 420 and 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code, with both accused allegedly part of a gang offering fake job placements.
