He said the accused allegedly hatched a criminal conspiracy to manage a fake PRC to use it as a genuine one in the office of Provincial Rehabilitation Office Jammu to avail rehabilitation package/compensation of an amount of Rs 4, 49, 692 as PoJK Refugee.
According to him, the case stems its origin to a written complaint lodged by one Gurnam Singh son of Gian Singh of Nai Basti, Korotana Khurd, Tehsil Suchetgarh, RS Pura, Jammu, wherein he alleged that the accused is a displaced person of Jalbhi, Tehsil Bhimber, District Mirpur and he manipulated the permanent resident certificate in his favour by producing the fraudulent documents.
After obtaining the PRC, the accused connived with the concerned revenue authorities and got the original file and record destroyed to hush up the fraud and later produced the PRC as genuine before the concerned authorities to claim one time settlement relief as PoJK refugee, said the Crime Branch spokesperson.
He said on receipt of a complaint, a preliminary verification was initiated and during probe, the allegations were prima facie substantiated, leading to the registration of a formal case for in-depth investigation.
During the course of investigation, the CB spokesperson said that relevant record was seized, statements of the witnesses recorded, scientific, circumstantial and other material evidence was gathered and offences against the accused were established, leading to presentation of a charge-sheet in the court of law for the judicial determination.
