Two Accused in Jammu Kashmir Bank Job Fraud Case Chargesheeted | Kashmir Life

SRINAGAR: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir on Sunday has filed a chargesheet against two individuals in connection with a high-profile job fraud case.

The chargesheet, submitted under Sections 420, 468, 471, and 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC), pertains to FIR No. 50/2023 and was presented before the Court of Passenger Tax, Sub-Registrar Srinagar. The accused have been identified as Mohd Ashraf Sheikh of Pahloo, Kulgam, and Aijaz-ul-Rehman Manroo of Bulbul Bagh, Barzulla, Srinagar.

The case originated from a written complaint alleging that the accused deceived victims by promising jobs in JK Bank and collected substantial sums of money in the process. Investigations by the EOW revealed that the accused provided fake and forged appointment orders to the complainants, inducing them to part with their money.

The probe, which included examination of documents, witness statements, and forensic analysis, established the involvement of both accused in orchestrating the fraudulent scheme. Following the completion of the investigation, the chargesheet was submitted for judicial determination.

The EOW emphasised its ongoing commitment to tackling financial fraud and protecting public interests, ensuring that offenders face appropriate legal action.
