Srinagar, Nov 30 (NationPress) The Crime Branch of Jammu and Kashmir announced on Sunday that it has submitted a charge sheet to the court against a local police officer implicated in a job racket in the Pulwama district.
A statement from the Crime Branch indicated, “The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a charge sheet in case FIR No. 15/2025 under Section 420 IPC before the Hon’ble Court of Special Mobile Magistrate, Pulwama, against Riyaz Ahmad Dar, son of Abdul Rashid Dar, a resident of Naroo Ratnipora, Pulwama, related to a case of cheating and corrupt practices. The case stems from credible information received by EOW Srinagar, suggesting that HC Riyaz Ahmad Dar (Belt No. 53/IRP 21st Bn, ARP No. 993957) had allegedly abused his role as a police official to defraud numerous innocent individuals under the guise of providing government jobs.
In response to this information, a preliminary inquiry was launched at Police Station EOW Srinagar. The investigation uncovered prima facie evidence indicating that the accused had deceitfully collected funds from several individuals, preying on their hopes and trust with false assurances of obtaining government employment.
“After verifying these allegations, the matter was acknowledged, and a formal case was registered at Police Station Economic Offences Wing, Srinagar. The ongoing investigation has confirmed the accused's criminal behavior, which prima facie constitutes offenses punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code concerning cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property,” the statement continued.
“Consequently, the charge sheet has been presented before the Hon’ble Court for judicial evaluation. The Crime Branch Kashmir reaffirms its dedication to maintaining integrity, ensuring accountability, and taking decisive action against corruption and fraud in every form,” the statement concluded.
It should be noted that the J&K Police, along with security forces, have been actively conducting operations against drug smugglers, drug peddlers, and individuals involved in hawala and other illegal financial activities.
It is believed that the money generated from these illegal activities is ultimately used to finance terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
Point of View
This incident underscores the persistent challenges of corruption within law enforcement agencies. It is imperative that authorities take stringent measures to restore public trust and ensure accountability. The Crime Branch's actions are a step in the right direction towards eradicating such malpractices.
