However, when the complainant reported to the High Court authorities for joining, it was revealed that the appointment letter was fake.
The SSP further disclosed that the accused was already acquainted with the second complainant. Initially, the accused allegedly obtained ₹2 lakh from him on the pretext of his wife’s medical treatment. Later, he assured the complainant that he could secure a job for his son in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court and, under this guise, collected relevant documents, which were allegedly misused as part of the fraudulent scheme.
Subsequent verification established that the appointment letter issued to the second complainant was also forged and fabricated, the officer said.
Following the receipt of the complaints, the Crime Branch conducted a preliminary verification, which found the allegations to be prima facie true. Consequently, a formal case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and further investigation is underway.
