Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch has filed a charge sheet against two individuals for allegedly using fake documents to extend their government service tenure. The accused, residents of Bandipora district, are charged under Sections 420, 468, and 471 of the Ranbir Penal Code for manipulating their educational qualifications and service records.
The investigation revealed that the accused misrepresented their educational backgrounds and obtained fake certificates to alter their dates of birth. This deception allowed them to unlawfully prolong their service tenure and gain financial benefits at the expense of the state exchequer. The charge sheet has been submitted to the court for further legal action.
The Economic Offences Wing has advised the public to report economic fraud promptly and has provided contact information for reporting such crimes. The Crime Branch, a specialized unit of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, handles investigations into economic offenses due to the technical expertise required for such cases.
