Jammu, Jan 22: The Crime Branch (CB) has filed charges against six individuals, including an employee of J&K Bank, in connection with defrauding 15 candidates of Rs. 1.34 crore by falsely promising them jobs in the Territorial Army and J&K Bank.
As per reports, two separate complaints have been lodged with the Crime Branch. In the first incident, complainants Jugal Kumar and Gopal Chand from Samba were led to believe they would secure positions in the Territorial Army’s sports category by the accused, Tarsem Singh and Balbir Singh. The victims were persuaded to pay through cheques, online transfers, and cash. Subsequently, the accused supplied counterfeit call letters bearing forged signatures and stamps of senior officials. When the complainants attempted to join, they discovered they had been duped, and their original documents remained with the accused, who declined to return them.
It is reported that each victim was swindled out of Rs. 9 lakh.
In the second complaint, Sahil Choudhary from Rajouri alleged that Sunny Sharma and Bisharat Hussain Mirza promised him a permanent Class IV role at J&K Bank for Rs. 8 lakh. The accused introduced him to two J&K Bank employees, Majid Ali and Imran Tantray, who instructed him to transfer Rs. 7.90 lakh to their provided accounts.
After the funds were transferred, Majid Ali handed over a fraudulent appointment order. When the complainant attempted to join the Dalhori Rajouri branch, he was informed that the appointment order was a scam.
The Crime Branch has registered two cases, FIR No. 07/2025 and FIR No. 08/2025, with investigations currently in progress.
