JAMMU, Feb 3: The Crime Branch (CB) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police today arrested a man from Jammu for allegedly forging Government appointment orders to cheat unemployed youth.
“The accused Manzoor Hussain Qadri son of late Ghulam Hassan Qadri, resident of village Poshwani, tehsil Pattan, district Baramulla, along with co-accused Mushtaq Ahmed Ganai of Bani Mulla (Kulgam) and Fayaz Ahmed Dar of Chanpora (Pattan) used to lure unemployed youth on the pretext of arranging jobs in the Forest and other Government Departments, a spokesperson of CB Jammu said.
He said a written complaint was lodged with the Crime Branch in Jammu by Raman Kattru and others, alleging that the accused persons on the pretext of arranging Government jobs duped them after issuing fake appointment orders in their favour.
