A vigilance spokesman said that on receipt of information, a joint surprise check was conducted into the allegation of fraudulent financing of non-existent units in Tehsils of Gandoh and Kishtwar by the State Financial Corporation (SFC) Doda. In the course of test check, it was revealed that one of the units financed by SFC, Doda was M/s Rather Photostat Gandoh.

The spokesman said the verification further revealed that in the year 2000, late Mohd. Ilyas R/o Gandoh applied for loan to SFC, Doda for installation of a Photostat machine unit in the name and style of M/s Rather Photostat situated at Gandoh. The applicant Late Ilyas after completion of formalities was provided a working capital of Rs.39,000 to meet the miscellaneous expenditure. The rest of the loan amount of Rs.1.50 lakh meant for purchase of equipment was found misappropriated by accused public servants in league with suppliers. The accused suppliers in connivance with accused public servants manipulated two fictitious proforma bills, one for Photostat machine and stabilizer for an amount of Rs.1,17,310 shown to have been issued by Parvez Ahmad Ansari in his capacity as proprietor of M/s Xerox India, New Delhi and another for generator set for an amount of Rs.33,000 shown to have been issued by M/s Jammu Auto Stores. The Photostat machine, stabilizer and generator set were not at all supplied by the supplier firms. The verification has found that the accused public servants under a conspired plan had furnished false inspection reports mentioning therein that the unit M/s Rather Photostat existed on the ground and is functional and these false inspection reports became basis for drawal of Rs.1.50 lakh. The verification has also found that the accused Parvez Ahmad had fraudulently opened a fictitious bank account in the name of firm M/s Jammu Auto Stores in Ellaqai Dehati Bank Chinore, Jammu and withdrew an amount of Rs.33,000 against demand draft. The accused supplier Parvez Ahmad Ansari proprietor of M/s Xerox India, New Delhi after depositing the demand draft for Rs.1,17,310 in Kangra Cooperative Bank, Govind Puri, New Delhi gave two cheques for Rs.50,000 and Rs.54,000 to accused Parvez Ahmad S/o Bashir Ahmad R/o Gandho, Doda who later en-cashed these two cheques from the bank.
