Srinagar, Dec 7: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a chargesheet against two individuals accused of running a fraudulent job scam involving fake J&K Bank appointment orders.
In a statement, the EOW said it submitted the chargesheet in FIR No. 50/2023 under Sections 420, 468, 471, and 120-B of the RPC before the Court of Passenger Tax, Sub-Registrar Srinagar. The chargesheet has been filed against Mohd Ashraf Sheikh, son of Abdul Majeed Sheikh, resident of Pahloo Kulgam, and Aijaz-ul-Rehman Manroo, son of Abdul Rehman Manroo, resident of Bulbul Bagh, Barzulla, Srinagar.
The case originated from a written complaint alleging that the accused deceived complainants by offering fake assurances of securing jobs in J&K Bank. They allegedly collected large sums of money and provided forged appointment orders to the victims.
After a probe was initiated at Police Station Economic Offences Wing, the investigation revealed that both accused had fabricated documents to dishonestly induce the complainants into paying money. The inquiry established their involvement through documentary evidence, witness statements, and forensic examination.
EOW concluded that the accused committed offences punishable under the cited sections of the RPC and subsequently filed the chargesheet before the competent court for judicial determination.
The Economic Offences Wing reaffirmed its commitment to combating financial frauds and safeguarding public interests by ensuring offenders are held accountable. (KNC)
