SRINAGAR, April 2: A block medical officer (BMO) was among the 12 accused chargesheeted by Kashmir wing of the crime branch (CB) of police in different cases Thursday. One challan was produced in the court of chief judicial magistrate (CJM), Srinagar, against businessman Sheikh Parvaiz Sultan of Bemina, Srinagar, for allegedly fabricating bank records.
To set up a unit titled "Tibia Dispensary" at Bemina, Sultan secured Rs 2 lakh as loan from the Bemina branch of the State Co-operative Bank in 2001 against the mortgage of 10 marlas of land at Maharajpora, Batmaloo.The bank also gave him loans of Rs 4 lakh and Rs 5.2 lakh later because of his satisfactory performance, according to the CB sources.
Sultan, however, turned defaulter in 2007 when the bank served upon him a notice to repay the loan. When he did not turn up despite repeated reminders, the bank enquired about the status of the land mortgaged by him.
In the process, it was found that the accused had managed a fake No Objection Certificate (NOC) on the bank letter pad in his own handwriting and on its basis, he got the mortgaged land delinked from the revenue authorities and subsequently sold it to one Abdul Rahim Ganie of Batmaloo for Rs 3.8 lakh, the sources added. The accused was produced in custody before the CJM and challan was filed against him for the offences of cheating. Another challan was produced in the court of CJM, Budgam, against 11 persons, including a BMO. The accused included Dr Sheikh Tariq Ahmad, the then BMO, Beerwah, his clerk Abdul Hamid Malik, Abdul Gani Waza, Bashir Ahmad War, Gulzar Ahmad Mir, Javeed Ahmad Mir, Abdul Rashid Mir, Farooq Ahmad Sheikh, Fayaz Ahmad Wani, Manzoor Ahmad Bhat, the then clerk in CMO office, Budgam, and Ghulam Mohammad Lone.
Dr Tariq, in league with Malik, had allowed Waza, War, Mir, Javeed, Rashid, Sheikh and Wani to join Beerwah block as nursing orderlies on the basis of fake orders shown issued under the signatures of CMO, Budgam, Dr Abdul Qayoom (now expired). In connivance with Manzoor Ahmad Bhat, the CMO issued a fraudulent transfer order in respect of Ghulam Mohammad Lone and on its basis, the latter was absorbed in the department.
A huge salary had been drawn by these fake appointees. The accused were produced in the court and challan presented against them for judicial determination. |
