Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 7: The Special Crime Wing (SCW), Crime Branch Jammu has registered FIR No. 24/2026 at Police Station SCW, Jammu, in connection with an alleged overseas visa and employment fraud involving multiple accused persons. The case stems from a joint written complaint filed by several residents of District Doda, who alleged that they were induced by Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Dachhan, Kishtwar, presently based in Dubai, with promises of arranging visas and employment in Dubai. Acting on these assurances, the complainants transferred substantial sums of money into the bank accounts of different individuals as instructed by the accused.
During the preliminary enquiry, it surfaced that the funds were routed through the bank accounts of Yasir Arfat, Ashiq Hussain, and Moin Khan, who were allegedly acting in coordination with the main accused. The available evidence prima facie indicated a well-planned criminal conspiracy involving multiple persons to cheat innocent job aspirants under the guise of providing overseas employment.
Accordingly, a formal case has been registered against the accused persons under the relevant provisions of law, and further investigation has been entrusted to Inspector Ashok Bazaz. The investigation will focus on tracing the money trail, identifying the role of each accused, and securing justice for the victims. The Special Crime Wing, Crime Branch Jammu once again advises the public to exercise utmost caution while dealing with individuals or agencies offering overseas jobs or visa services. Citizens are urged to verify the credentials of such entities through authorised government channels before making any payments and to promptly report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station or helpline. |
