SRINAGAR, Dec 28: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir (CBK) has filed a charge sheet against a man accused of duping dozens of unemployed youths by promising them jobs in reputed hospitals and banks.
According to a statement issued here, a comprehensive charge sheet has been submitted before the Court of City Judge (Sub Registrar), Srinagar, in connection with FIR No. 49/2022, registered under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the RPC, pertaining to a large-scale job fraud.
The agency said the case stems from a written complaint in which several residents of the Tangmarg area alleged that they were duped by Reyaz Ahmad Taploo, son of Mohammad Sidiq Taploo, a resident of Anchaar Dagapora, Soura, Srinagar.
“The accused allegedly lured innocent job seekers by falsely promising employment as security guards in reputed hospitals and banks,” the CBK said.

Under this “false pretext,” the agency said, the accused reportedly collected huge sums of money amounting to several lakhs of rupees from the victims.
“To further legitimize the fraud, the accused allegedly issued fake appointment orders and uniform items, thereby misleading the victims into believing that the employment offers were genuine,” it added.
Upon receipt of the complaint, the Economic Offences Wing initiated a thorough and meticulous investigation, “during which it was prima facie established that the accused was operating a fake NGO under the name and style of ‘SAI NGO Consultancy.’”
Using this fictitious entity as a front, the CBK said, the accused systematically cheated unemployed youth by issuing forged appointment letters and false assurances of employment.
“The investigation conclusively revealed that the accused indulged in deliberate acts of cheating, forgery, and use of forged documents as genuine, thereby committing serious economic offences and exploiting vulnerable job seekers.”
After completing all legal formalities and gathering sufficient evidence, the Economic Offences Wing has formally submitted the charge sheet before the competent court for judicial scrutiny and trial.
