Srinagar, Nov 10: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kashmir of Crime Branch J&K on Tuesday filed a chargesheet against a man accused of impersonating a CID officer and cheating people by promising government jobs and transfers in lieu of money, officials said.
In a statement, a spokesperson said the EOW Kashmir had filed a chargesheet in case FIR No. 24/2023 under Sections 420 and 468 IPC before the Court of Sub-Judge, Srinagar, against Ghulam Hassan Dar, son of Mohammad Yousuf Dar, resident of Dhobi Ghat, Hazratbal.
He said the case was registered on the basis of a written complaint alleging that the accused impersonated a CID officer posted in Delhi and fraudulently induced people by promising government favours.
The accused allegedly promised to secure the transfer of a Railway Department employee from Uttarakhand to Srinagar. He also assured another victim of an appointment as a Nursing Orderly in the Health Department and provided fake appointment orders and a forged deputation letter, thereby cheating people of lakhs of rupees.
The spokesperson said the allegations were substantiated during the investigation, following which the case was concluded as proved and a chargesheet filed before the court in absentia under Section 512 CrPC, as the accused is absconding.
“SSP EOW Kashmir advises the public to verify the credentials of individuals claiming official connections and never pay money for government jobs or transfers through unauthorised channels. Report any such fraudulent activity to EOW Kashmir,” the statement reads. (KNO)
