JAMMU, Aug 10: Crime Branch Jammu has booked an Army deserter for fraud and impersonation to lure for jobs in MES.
A criminal case under relevant provisions of law has been registered against suspect- Sepoy Deepak Kumar (Deserter from J&K LI 8th BN), son of Parshotam Lal, resident of Nathel Chack (Sanji Morh), Hiranagar, Kathua for his involvement in cheating and duping the complainant and others of their hard earned money by impersonating as one Neeraj Kumar, who was working as clerk in the unit where the complainant had served earlier.
The suspect approached the complainant through the Facebook ID of Neeraj Kumar and lured him on the pretext of arranging jobs in respect of his relatives and acquaintances in different trades in MES against monetary consideration.
A written complaint was lodged by Jasbir Singh, son of Ajit Singh of Krishna Nagar Kartholi, Bari-Brahmana, Samba, who had retired from Army. He received a message on his Facebook account from the Facebook ID of one Neeraj Kumar, who was working as clerk in the unit where he had served and asked him for his mobile number. Believing him as Neeraj Kumar he gave him his number and both started talking. The suspect told him that he was posted in MES Udhampur and there were vacancies in MES; and if the complainant wanted any person to be recruited he would help. The suspect told the complainant to send photographs and Mark sheet of the person on Whatsapp and accordingly he sent the requisite documents. The accused thereafter told the complainant to deposit money in the account of MES clerk viz Deepak Kumar as fees. Accordingly, complainant deposited the amount in the Bank Account in Punjab & Sind Bank. Thereafter, the suspect asked the complainant for more persons for various posts in MES and sought their documents. The complainant did so again besides depositing the required sum of money. Thereafter, the suspect kept delaying on one or the other pretext, which raised suspicion of the complainant for being defrauded and cheated. Later, he came to know that the fraudster – Deepak Kumar, who had been declared as a deserter in Army for his criminal activities duped him by impersonating as Neeraj Kumar, through Facebook.
