Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch Files Charges Against Fraudulent Individual
The Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch has filed charges against a man for fraudulently impersonating a CID officer to deceive victims.
Srinagar, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : The Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch announced on Tuesday that its Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) has filed a chargesheet against an individual involved in a fraud case.
According to a statement, the EOW submitted the chargesheet under FIR number 24/2023 at the Sub-Judge’s court in Srinagar. The accused, identified as Ghulam Hasan Dar, son of Mohammad Yousuf Dar, resides in Dhobi Ghat, Hazratbal.
The case stemmed from a written complaint alleging that the accused impersonated a CID officer stationed in Delhi and promised government benefits to various individuals, ultimately defrauding them. He assured victims of a transfer to the railway department in Srinagar from Uttarakhand and also promised a nursing orderly position in the health department.
To facilitate this, the accused provided the victims with fake appointment letters and forged transfer documents, leading to substantial financial losses. During the investigation, the allegations were substantiated. Consequently, since the accused was absconding, the chargesheet was filed in his absence under Section 512 of the CrPC for judicial determination.
Previously, the EOW had filed charges against a couple in a property fraud case involving ₹3.55 crore. The crime branch revealed that they had submitted a chargesheet against Peery Lal Kaul and his wife Nirmala Kaul, residents of Soldier Colony in Jammu, related to alleged property fraud concerning a residential plot and house.
The SSP of EOW Kashmir has advised the public to verify the credentials of individuals claiming to have government connections and to refrain from making payments through unauthorized channels for government jobs or transfers. Any fraudulent activities should be reported to EOW Kashmir.
