Chargesheet filed against R&B employee for forging DoB to secure illegal regularisation: Crime Branch

During an initial inquiry, Crime Branch Kashmir found that the accused had allegedly produced a fake medical certificate showing his date of birth as 01-04-1968 in order to secure undue regularisation in the department. However, further verification revealed that his actual date of birth, as per school records, was 04-04-1950—indicating an 18-year discrepancy.

Following these findings, Crime Branch Kashmir registered a formal case and took up a detailed investigation. The probe established that the accused, in criminal conspiracy, had forged and used a fake date of birth certificate to fraudulently prolong his service benefits.

Officials said the investigation brought forth prima facie evidence of cheating, forgery, destruction of evidence and conspiracy, leading to the filing of the chargesheet for judicial determination.
