According to a statement released to Kashmir News Service (KNS) by the Crime Branch, the charge sheet for Case FIR No. 17/2023 was submitted to the Hon’ble Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Ganderbal on December 22, 2023. The accused, identified as Shahid-ul-Islam, son of Ghulam Nabi Mir and a resident of Prang, Kangan, Ganderbal, faces charges under sections 420, 465, 468, 471, and 201 of the RPC for his involvement in offenses related to the use of fake/forged documents.
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.

It was uncovered that the accused had presented a fake 10+2 marks certificate at the Institute of Asian Medical Sciences to secure admission in the BUMS program for the 2014 session. Furthermore, the investigation revealed that, after completing the course, the accused applied for the position of Medical Officer (AYUSH) using the degree certificate of BUMS and the fraudulent 10+2 marks certificate. The accused was selected for the role, as evidenced by order No. 08 DRHSG of 2014 dated 20.01.2014 issued by the Director Rural Health Mission, J&K. However, the individual was later terminated from government services through Govt. order No. 178 of 2022 dated 12.12.2022, issued by the Secretary Health and Medical Education Department, J&K.
