JAMMU, Nov 26: The Crime Branch, Jammu today registered a case against former General Manager, Super Bazaar, Jammu, Naresh Sharma and others for committing the offences of cheating, forgery and fraud.
The Crime Branch acted on a written complaint and during inquiry established that Naresh Sharma had procured items from different traders and issued crossed/payees account cheques to them but later got them encashed by attesting the same.
He had also issued an order and executed an agreement for 20 years with one Ranjeet Singh, an employee of Super Bazaar for running a Chemist shop by fixing monthly rent and commission, which was in violation of the bye-laws.
The Crime Branch also established that the accused allowed the suppliers to arrange supply orders and make supplies directly to the Government Departments. In such transactions, the supply orders were not mentioned on the payment bills but Naresh Sharma made the necessary entries in the records in connivance with other employees for pecuniary benefits causing loss to the State exchequer.
