Srinagar, December 19: The Special Crime Wing of the Crime Branch Kashmir has officially filed a charge sheet against a resident of Ganderbal for his alleged involvement in a significant employment scam. The accused, identified as Muzaffar Ahmad Shah, son of Shamsudin Shah, originally from Saloora, Ganderbal, and currently residing at Co-operative Colony, Peerbagh, is accused of duping multiple individuals of ₹5.50 lakh under the false pretext of securing them government jobs. The legal proceedings, filed under case FIR No. 05/2020, have been moved before the Court of Sub Judge 13th Finance, Srinagar, following an exhaustive investigation that substantiated claims of fraudulent activity under Section 420 RPC.
The investigation into the case revealed that Muzaffar Ahmad Shah deliberately misled the complainants by exploiting their aspirations for stable government employment. By promising positions to the victims and their relatives, the accused dishonestly induced them to part with their hard-earned money. The Crime Branch statement emphasized that the evidence collected during the probe clearly established the suspect’s involvement in the crime. Reaffirming its commitment to justice, the Special Crime Wing reiterated its zero-tolerance policy toward job frauds and cheating, particularly those targeting vulnerable unemployed youth.
