Jammu and Kashmir Bank Employee Charged in Job Scam Duping 15 Aspirants of Rs 1.34 Crore

The Jammu and Kashmir Police's Crime Branch has filed two separate cases against six individuals, including a bank employee, for allegedly defrauding 15 young people of Rs 1.34 crore under the guise of offering jobs. Senior Superintendent of Police, Crime Branch Jammu, Benam Tosh confirmed that FIRs have been lodged at the Economic Offences Wing police station, and investigations are ongoing.

In one complaint, a group of youths from Samba accused Tarsem Singh and his father Balbir Singh of deceiving them with false promises of employment in the territorial army. The accused allegedly provided fake offer letters with forged signatures and stamps of senior officers. The victims' original qualification certificates and other documents remain with the accused.

Allegations Against Bank Employee

Another complaint was received through police headquarters from Sahil Choudhary of Rajouri district. He claimed that he was defrauded of Rs 8 lakh by four individuals, including J-K bank employee Majid Ali, Sunny Sharma, Bisharat Hussain Mirza, and Imran Tantray. They allegedly promised him a job in the bank.

Choudhary was given an appointment order for a banking attendant position at Dalhori village in Rajouri. However, upon verification, the order turned out to be fake, according to the crime branch.

Ongoing Investigations

The police are actively investigating these cases to gather more evidence and bring the culprits to justice. The involvement of a bank employee in such fraudulent activities has raised concerns about trust and security within financial institutions.

The authorities are urging anyone with similar experiences or additional information to come forward. This will aid in the investigation and help prevent further incidents of fraud targeting job seekers.

The Crime Branch is committed to addressing economic offences and ensuring that those responsible for such deceitful acts face legal consequences. The ongoing investigations aim to uncover the full extent of these fraudulent schemes and hold all involved accountable.
