SRINAGAR, NOVEMBER 10 (STC): The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Jammu and Kashmir has filed a charge sheet in the court against an accused in the alleged case of embezzling lakhs of rupees by posing as a CID officer and deceiving people to get government jobs and transfers of government employees.
The accused has been identified as Ghulam Hassan Dar son of Muhammad Yousuf Dar, resident of Dhobi Ghat, Hazratbal, Srinagar. EOW Kashmir has filed a chargesheet against him under Sections 420 and 468 IPC under FIR No. 24/2023 before the Sub-Judge Court Srinagar.
According to a statement issued by the Crime Branch Kashmir, the case was registered after receiving a written complaint, in which it was alleged that the accused used to deceive people by posing as a CID officer posted in Delhi about his influence and official connections and used to collect money from them in the name of getting various official works done. During the investigation, it came to light that the accused had allegedly assured a person that he could get an employee posted in the Railway Department transferred from Uttarakhand to Srinagar. For this purpose, he used his alleged official connections and claim to be a CID officer. Similarly, the accused had also assured another victim of getting a job as a nursing orderly in the Health Department.
According to the Crime Branch, the accused also provided fake appointment letters and fake deputation letters to substantiate his claims and gain the trust of the victims.
The statement said that through these alleged forgeries and false promises, the accused trapped the victims in his net and cheated them by collecting lakhs of rupees from them in the name of government jobs and transfers.
During the detailed investigation of the case, the allegations made in the complaint were confirmed and evidence related to cheating and forgery came to light against the accused. After the completion of the investigation, the matter was declared proven and the final charge sheet was presented in the court. Since the accused Ghulam Hassan Dar is still absconding and could not be caught by the law enforcement agencies, a charge sheet has been presented against him in the court in his absence under Section 512 CrPC, so that the matter can be judicially reviewed, the crime branch said in its statement.
