Srinagar, Dec 28 (NationPress) The J&K Crime Branch announced on Sunday that it has officially submitted a charge sheet against the individuals involved in an extensive job scam executed by a recruiter utilizing a fraudulent NGO.

A statement from the Crime Branch of Kashmir revealed, “The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has lodged a charge sheet against a local resident from Srinagar accused of masterminding a widespread job fraud by masquerading as a recruiter via a fictitious NGO.”

The suspect deceived numerous residents of Tangmarg, extracting lakhs of rupees under the false pretense of providing employment in hospitals and banks, while issuing counterfeit appointment letters under the name of “SAI NGO Consultancy.”

According to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Kashmir, a detailed charge sheet was submitted to the Court of City Judge (Sub Registrar) Srinagar, associated with FIR No. 49/2022, which was registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, and 471 RPC, concerning a significant job fraud.

“The case emerged from a written complaint indicating that several residents of the Tangmarg region were misled by Reyaz Ahmad Taploo, son of Mohammad Sidiq Taploo, a resident of Anchaar Dagapora, Soura, Srinagar. The accused enticed naive job seekers with false promises of employment as security personnel in esteemed hospitals and banks. Under this deceitful guise, he reportedly amassed considerable amounts of money totaling several lakhs of rupees from the victims,” stated the report.

To further lend credibility to his scheme, the perpetrator provided counterfeit appointment orders and uniform items, misguiding the victims into believing the job offers were authentic.

“Following the receipt of the complaint, the Crime Branch Kashmir (now the Economic Offences Wing) launched an exhaustive investigation, during which it was preliminarily determined that the accused was operating a fraudulent NGO named “SAI NGO Consultancy.” Utilizing this sham organization as a facade, the accused systematically exploited unemployed youth by distributing forged appointment letters and false promises of employment,” the statement elaborated.

The inquiry conclusively demonstrated that the accused engaged in willful acts of deception, forgery, and the use of counterfeit documents as if they were legitimate, thereby committing serious economic offenses and taking advantage of vulnerable job seekers.

“After fulfilling all legal requirements and collecting substantial evidence, the Economic Offences Wing has formally presented the charge sheet for judicial examination and trial. The Economic Offences Wing reiterates its dedication to combating employment-related fraud and urges the public to remain cautious against deceptive job offers and to authenticate the legitimacy of recruitment agencies before making any financial commitments,” the statement concluded.
