Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 14: With the arrest of a notorious criminal from Uttar Pradesh, Police have solved the case of creating a fake social media account of the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shopian Tanu Shree.
The criminal, arrested from the Pratapgarh district of UP, was demanding money from police officers and the general public through that fake account.
SSP Shopian is not an isolated case, in July this year a fake Whatsapp account was created with a picture of Deputy Commissioner Kathua, Rahul Pandey. As the fraudster with this fake account was demanding money from people and officers, the Deputy Commissioner issued an official statement to educate the people about that fake account. On July 9, Rahul Pandey cautioned the general public against a fake WhatsApp account using his photograph as its display picture.
“The fraudster is using this fake WhatsApp account for seeking financial favours from various Government employees. The DC has strongly advised against falling into the trap of fraudsters”, he said.
In August this year, a fake Facebook account was created in the name of Haamid Bukhari who happens to be an officer of the Government of India’s Central Civil Services cadre posted in J&K manning the Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs field office, Registrar of Companies in Kashmir.
As per the Officer’s Facebook profile post, Haamid Bukhari says that he came to know through some friends that such a thing has happened and the creator of this Fake Facebook profile has sent requests to the people asking for money in his name.
While Bukhari said that a complaint has been filed with the Zonal Police authorities in Srinagar and eventually he has been approached by the SHO Saddar Bhagat Police station and details have been shared. The local police station will share the matter with Cyber Police concerned. He also requested everyone to block and report this account as soon as possible.
In 2020, when the first wave of Coronavirus on its peak, a fake account of Principal Secretary Rohit Kansal was created by some anti-social elements.
