SRINAGAR, June 7 (KNC): The Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Kashmir, of Crime Branch Jammu and Kashmir has filed a chargesheet before the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Sumbal, against two persons for their alleged involvement in securing illegal extension of government service through forged documents and fraudulent certificates.

According to an official statement, the chargesheet in FIR No. 05/2026, registered under Sections 420, 468 and 471 of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC), has been filed against Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, son of Mohammad Jawad Bhat, and Assadullah Bhat, son of Haji Ghulam Ahmad Bhat, both residents of Rakhi Shilwat in Bandipora district.

Investigations conducted by the EOW revealed that the accused had allegedly concealed their actual educational qualifications and falsely projected themselves as illiterate to manipulate official records. They are accused of obtaining altered dates of birth on the basis of fraudulent certificates, which subsequently led to incorrect entries in their service records.

Following completion of the investigation, the Crime Branch has presented the chargesheet before the competent court for judicial proceedings.
