Crime Branch Jammu (CBJ) on Monday said that it booked daily rated worker of Forest Division Kishtwar for arranging his job fraudulently.
“Crime Branch Jammu registered a criminal case against Shamsher Singh, son of Charan Dass of Tata Pani Paddar, District Kishtwar and others under the relevant sections of law for his involvement in managing government job as a daily rated worker in Forest Division Kishtwar by way of production of fake School leaving cum date of birth Certificate,” a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said.

Govt. Girls Primary School Tata Pani and Govt. High School Paddar, depicting two different dates of birth of the suspect as 06-08-1955 and 12-08-1960 respectively.
“The suspect fraudulently managed his engagement as daily wager in Forest Division Kishtwar which amounts to crime of cheating with the department. The matter was also got enquired into through a committee constituted by Divisional Forest Officer Kishtwar which substantiated the allegations levelled against the suspect.”
