Srinagar, Nov 11. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a charge sheet before the Court of Sub Judge, Chadoora, in connection with a fraudulent appointment and salary drawal case registered under FIR No. 95/2022.
According to officials, the charge sheet has been produced against three accused persons identified as Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Gazi, a retired Headmaster and son of Ghulam Mohammad Gazi of Zaindar Mohalla, Habba Kadal, Srinagar; Mubeena Kawsar; and Ifra Nissar.
The case stemmed from a communication received from the Directorate of School Education, Kashmir, pointing to irregularities in appointments and manipulation of service records made under SRO-43. Following the communication, a formal case was registered at the Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch Kashmir.
Investigations revealed that the original appointee, Ifra Nissar, had tendered her resignation from government service, but the then Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) concealed the resignation and fraudulently substituted another person in her place, continuing to draw salary against the same post.
Officials said that documentary and oral evidence collected during the investigation substantiated the allegations and established criminal conspiracy, forgery, and misappropriation of government funds. The offences under Sections 419, 420, 409, 468, and 471 read with 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code were proven, leading to the filing of the charge sheet for judicial determination.
Reaffirming its stance, the Crime Branch Kashmir stated that it remains committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity in public institutions, and to bringing all those involved in economic offences and corruption to justice.
