The chargesheet was filed before the Court of Forest Magistrate, Srinagar, in FIR No. 12/2026 under Sections 420, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against Abdul Majeed Mir, son of Abdul Rahim Mir, a resident of Lishtiyal, Kalaroos, Kupwara.
According to the EOW, the case was registered following a written complaint alleging that the accused had taken lakhs of rupees from the complainant on the promise of securing a government job for his son.
The accused allegedly provided an appointment order purportedly issued by the Airports Authority of India, which was subsequently found to be fake and forged.
The EOW said the allegations were substantiated during the investigation, following which the chargesheet was presented before the competent court for judicial determination.
The accused, against whom 15 criminal cases have been registered across the Kashmir Valley, was arrested on July 18, 2026, and is presently lodged in Central Jail, Srinagar.
The EOW alleged that Mir impersonated influential persons and bureaucrats to deceive and cheat unsuspecting people.
The agency has advised the public to remain vigilant against economic fraud and verify claims of government employment before making any payments.
People who have been victims of economic fraud can report their complaints to SSP EOW Srinagar Abdul Waheed Shah or email sspeow-kmr@jkpolice.gov.in.
