CB nabs notorious fraudster Jameel Anjum S/o Nasir Ahmed in fraud job scam
*The Crime Branch must investigate his connections with the Civil Secretariat and Legislative Assembly, including identifying the officials who may be extending him moral or institutional support.
*The involvement of his family should also be thoroughly investigated to assess whether they knowingly supported or facilitated his fraudulent activities. If they were truly unaware or disapproved of his actions, did they ever take any step-such as displaying a warning notice on their main gate-to alert others about their son’s criminal behavior?
*The Crime Branch should consider demolishing his house, as has been done in cases involving drug peddlers, or alternatively, seize and auction the property to compensate the victims.

Jammu, May 23: In a major breakthrough, the Jammu Crime Branch on Friday arrested a history-sheeter government school teacher who has been operating as a serial fraudster, duping innocent and unemployed youth with fake promises of government jobs.
Senior Superintendent of Police, Crime Branch Jammu, Benam Tosh, confirmed the arrest of the accused, Jameel Anjum, son of Nasir Ahmed, a resident of House No. 45, Ustad Mohalla, Jammu. The accused, who was serving as a government school teacher, has a notorious history with 10 FIRs registered against him both in the Crime Branch and District Police Jammu. He is presently under suspension due to his persistent involvement in high-profile frauds.
The latest arrest was made following a detailed investigation into a case filed by complainant Rashid Manhas of Gujjar Nagar, who alleged that Jameel Anjum defrauded him of ?10 lakh in cash and gold ornaments worth ?5 lakh. The complainant was promised a secure government job for himself and his sister. Jameel, posing as a well-connected insider, fabricated fake appointment letters and misled the victims with false assurances of vacancies in the Excise, CAPD, and Education Departments. He specifically targeted individuals from middle-class families with no prior government employment, using emotional manipulation to build trust.
Taking swift action, SSP Benam Tosh formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by a Deputy Superintendent of Police to probe the case. Upon verifying the evidence, the SIT found concrete proof of Jameel’s criminal activities. He was formally arrested and is now undergoing sustained interrogation to uncover the full extent of the job racket and identify potential accomplices.
SSP Tosh stated that Jameel Anjum is a habitual conman, with an active history-sheet and a personal criminal file maintained by authorities. Out of the ten cases registered against him, four have been challaned in court, while six remain under investigation.
The arrest has brought a sense of relief among the public and serves as a stern warning to fraudsters exploiting the desperation of unemployed youth. The Crime Branch reiterated its commitment to rooting out such criminal networks and ensuring justice for the victims of financial and emotional exploitation.
The investigation is ongoing, and further revelations are expected in the coming days.
