| Court rejects bail in fake appointment scam | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 24: CJM Jammu Amarjeet Singh Langeh has rejected the bail application of one Harmeet Singh of Pulwama who was arrested by the Nowabad police station in fake appointment scam.
According to the police case that an FIR no. 190/2021 for offence under section 420 of IPC came to be registered against petitioner in the backdrop of allegations that he received an amount of Rs. 4 lakhs from complainant and his friend against assurance that he would provide them job of driver in NHPC office at Jammu; that an amount of Rs. 3,90,000/- was allegedly paid to petitioner on 2nd of June, 2021 in cash at Jewel, Jammu while as another amount of Rs. 10,000/- was transferred to his account maintained in J&K Bank; that petitioner assured them the provision of job in the month of Aug. 2021 but he failed.
Further, allegations as outlined in the application are that when complainant and his friend demanded refund of amount so paid to him, petitioner allegedly refused. Complainant accordingly alleged that he and his friend have been cheated and defrauded hence prayed for registration of FIR which was registered as aforementioned. During investigation, petitioner came to be arrested on 14-12-2021 and during his personal search a fake Aadhar Card, fake PDD I-Card carrying his photograph with fake name and address, some cheques, three ATM cards and a mobile phone were recovered from him.
Besides, a copy of document-(fake appointment letter) was also allegedly recovered from petitioner purported to have been issued from office of Chief Engineer NHPC, Regional office, Jammu wherein sanction for appointment of fourteen individuals including complainant seems to have been granted/approved for Class-IV/driver post. 5. The evidence collected during investigation as on date would explicitly show that petitioner made fraudulent job offer and collected money not only from complainant and another and thus duped them of their money amounting to Rs. 4 lakhs.
The CJM Jammu observed that what is un-settling is that despite having collected vital evidence like forged appointment order, fake identity card etc-investigating agency does not seem to have shown keenness to further dig out wider manifestations of case in hand including antecedents of petitioner and patronage that he may have in perpetuation of alleged racket of providing fake appointment orders as alleged in the case. |
