Crime Branch

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has secured convictions in two separate criminal cases related to fraud and forgery, marking a significant step in the agency’s ongoing efforts to tackle economic crimes in the region.

In the first case, the Court of City Judge Srinagar convicted two individuals — Mukhtar Ahmad Guroo and Nazir Ahmad Guroo, sons of Gulla Mohammad Guroo, residents of Abi-Karpora, Nehru Park Dalgate Srinagar — in connection with FIR No. 24/2008 registered under Sections 420 and 109-B of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC).

According to officials, the case pertained to the fraudulent collection of Rs 34 lakh from a complainant, a foreign national, under the false promise of facilitating the purchase of residential immovable property.

The accused allegedly concealed the fact that the complainant, being a foreigner, was not legally permitted to buy property in Kashmir. This deception resulted in significant financial loss to the complainant.

Following a prolonged trial lasting 12 years, the court found both accused guilty and sentenced them to simple imprisonment for a period of two years.A fine of Rs 5,000 per offence was also imposed on each individual.

In the second case, related to FIR No. 54/2002, the same court convicted seven individuals accused of forging and submitting a fake 10th class marks card to secure admission into a Higher Secondary School. The accused were booked under Sections 420, 468, 471, and 120-B RPC.

Investigators said the accused acted in connivance to prepare and use fake academic credentials. The Crime Branch conducted a detailed investigation and produced strong documentary and oral evidence in court, which eventually led to their conviction.

The court sentenced all seven individuals to simple imprisonment for a period of two years and imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 per offence.

The Economic Offences Wing, formerly the Crime Branch Kashmir, stated that these convictions demonstrate its commitment to pursuing white-collar crimes and bringing offenders to justice.

Officials said the agency would continue to handle such matters with legal precision and a high standard of investigation and prosecution.(KNS).

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.

1.During the investigation, relevant records were obtained and seized, and statements from individuals familiar with the case were recorded. 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.
