The accused allegedly utilized a counterfeit 10+2 certificate to secure admission in the BUMS course and even managed to obtain a government job to which he was not entitled. The case was initially registered at the Police Station Special Crime Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir) based on a complaint filed by Dr. Zaffar Shaheen, son of Ghulam Mohammad Teeli and a resident of Manigam, Ganderbal.
The complaint alleged that Shahid-ul-Islam had gained admission to the BUMS Course for the 2014 session at the Institute of Asian Medical Sciences, affiliated with the University of Kashmir, using a fabricated 10+2 marks certificate. Subsequently, the accused applied for a “Provisional Registration Certificate” to the Registrar, Board of Ayurvedic/Unani System of Medicine, based on the same forged certificate. This led to the initiation of an inquiry under Reg. No. ME: 01/2022 at the Special Crime Wing, Crime Branch Kashmir, Srinagar, which eventually resulted in the registration of the current case.
