The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has submitted a chargesheet in case FIR No. 15/2025 under Section 420 IPC before the Hon’ble Court of Special Mobile Magistrate, Pulwama, against Riyaz Ahmad Dar, son of Abdul Rashid Dar, resident of Naroo Ratnipora, Pulwama, in connection with a case of alleged cheating and corrupt practices.
The case originates from the receipt of credible information by EOW Srinagar, indicating that HC Riyaz Ahmad Dar (Belt No. 53/IRP 21st Bn, ARP No. 993957) had allegedly misused his position as a police official to deceive multiple innocent individuals under the pretext of providing them government jobs. Acting upon the information, a preliminary enquiry was initiated at Police Station EOW Srinagar.
The probe revealed prima facie evidence that the accused had fraudulently collected money from several persons, exploiting their aspirations and trust with false promises of securing government employment. Following the substantiation of these allegations, cognizance of the matter was taken, and a formal case was registered at Police Station Economic Offences Wing, Srinagar.
Subsequent investigation has established the criminal conduct of the accused, which prima facie constitutes offences punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code pertaining to cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property. Accordingly, the chargesheet has been produced before the Hon’ble Court for judicial determination.
The Crime Branch Kashmir reiterates its commitment to upholding integrity, ensuring accountability, and taking firm action against corruption and fraud in all forms.
