JAMMU, July 20: The Crime Branch (CB) Jammu has registered three separate FIRs against notorious fraudsters, including a jailed Government teacher, for their alleged involvement in job scams amounting to Rs 1.47 crores.
A Crime Branch official said in the first case, an FIR has been lodged against one Ajay Kumar of Sungli, Doda, following complaints from six individuals.
The complainants, according to him, alleged that Ajay Kumar duped them of Rs 1.06 cr by falsely promising Government jobs while posing as a Secretariat official.
He said Ajay is a habitual fraudster and more complaints are continuously being reported against him.
In another case, he said, a fresh FIR has been registered against suspended Government teacher Jameel Anjum of Ustad Mohalla, Jammu.
He said nine complainants from Lower Gadigarh have accused him of cheating them of Rs 39 lakh on the pretext of arranging Government jobs and providing fake appointment orders.
The Crime Branch official said this is the eleventh FIR against Anjum, who is already in judicial custody in a separate cheating case.
“He is known for impersonating a personal assistant to high-ranking official to lure job aspirants,” he said.
In a third FIR, two more individuals— Iftikhar Ali and his father Nazir Ali, residents of Chanderkote, Ramban— have been booked following a complaint by one Mohammad Taki of Kunfer, Chanderkote, who alleged they duped him by offering a fake Government job deal, the Crime Branch official said.
SSP Crime Jammu, Benam Tosh, stated that strict action is being taken against such fraudsters and appealed to job seekers and their families to remain vigilant against these criminal elements.
