The Special Crime Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a charge-sheet in FIR No. 56/2016 under Sections 409, 477-A RPC, and 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act before the Hon’ble Court of the Additional Special Judge Anti-Corruption, Pulwama, against three accused servicemen for their alleged involvement in the misappropriation of government funds.
The case originated from a communication received from the Director General, Fire and Emergency Services, J&K, highlighting financial irregularities in the withdrawal of establishment bills, dearness allowance, and pay revision arrears between June 2013 and March 2014. Preliminary scrutiny revealed that the accused had fraudulently withdrawn government funds and diverted them into personal accounts, thereby committing criminal breach of trust and abuse of official position.
During the course of investigation, relevant official records, bank transaction details, and witness statements were thoroughly examined. The evidence collected substantiated the allegations, confirming deliberate misappropriation of public funds by the accused.
Upon completion of a detailed investigation, the offences were found proved, and the charge-sheet was accordingly produced before the competent court for further judicial proceedings.
The Special Crime Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir) reiterates its commitment to ensuring transparency, integrity, and accountability in public institutions, reaffirming its resolve to bring to justice all those involved in corruption and financial misconduct.
