The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a chargesheet before the Court of City Judge (Sub Registrar), Srinagar, in connection with a large-scale job fraud case registered as FIR No. 49/2022 under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the RPC.
According to a statement issued by the Crime Branch, the case originated from a written complaint by several residents of the Tangmarg area who alleged that they were cheated by Reyaz Ahmad Taploo, son of Mohammad Sidiq Taploo, a resident of Anchaar Dagapora, Soura, Srinagar.
The accused allegedly lured unemployed youth by promising them jobs as security guards in reputed hospitals and banks. Under this pretext, he reportedly collected large sums of money amounting to several lakhs of rupees from the victims. To make the offers appear genuine, the accused is said to have issued fake appointment letters and provided uniform items.
During the investigation, the EOW established that the accused was operating a fake NGO under the name “SAI NGO Consultancy,” which he allegedly used as a front to cheat job seekers by issuing forged documents and false employment assurances.
The investigation concluded that the accused was involved in deliberate acts of cheating, forgery and use of forged documents as genuine. After completing the investigation and legal formalities, the EOW submitted the chargesheet before the competent court for trial.
The Economic Offences Wing reiterated its commitment to curbing employment-related frauds and advised the public to remain cautious of fraudulent job offers and to verify the authenticity of recruiting agencies before making any financial payments.
