11th FIR Registered Against Suspended Government Teacher Jameel Anjum son of Nasir Ahmed.
Jammu, July 20: In a major breakthrough, the Crime Branch Jammu has busted a high-profile job scam network and booked multiple notorious fraudsters involved in duping innocent citizens of a staggering ₹1.47 crore. Acting swiftly, the agency has registered three separate FIRs, including the 11th against a suspended government school teacher, now jailed, Jameel Anjum son of Nasir Ahmed resident of H. No 45 Narain Mohalla, Ustad Mohalla, Jammu—one of the key masterminds of the racket.
According to official sources, a fresh FIR has been lodged against Jameel Anjum, son of Nasir Ahmed based on a joint complaint by nine victims from Lower Gadi Garh. The complainants alleged that Anjum cheated them of ₹39 lakh under the false pretext of securing government jobs and even provided fake appointment letters. Currently lodged in judicial custody in a previous case, Anjum is already a history-sheeter, and this is the eleventh FIR registered against him.
Posing as a Personal Assistant (PA) to a senior official, Anjum used his fabricated identity. Besides, some sources revealed that he was having free access to government offices, especially the Civil Secretariat and Assembly Secretariat. It is allegedly suspected that someone very close to Jameel Anjum is within the Civil Secretariat and Assembly Secretariat extending covert support to the fraudster, facilitating his movements and illegal activities to enter and reenter the civil secretariat. Such type of connections should be unearthed and dismantle the entire nexus.
In another case, an FIR has been filed against Ajay Kumar, son of Pankaj Kumar from Sungli, Doda, following two separate written complaints by six individuals. Ajay allegedly impersonated a Secretariat official and swindled job aspirants out of ₹1.06 crore on the false promise of providing them government employment. He is also under investigation for multiple similar complaints now surfacing.
A third FIR has been registered against Iftikhar Ali and Nazir Ali, both residents of Chanderkote, Ramban, for cheating one Mohd Taki from Kunfer, Chanderkote on similar job fraud allegations.
SSP Crime Branch Jammu, Shri Benam Tosh, affirmed, “Stringent action under the law is being taken against these habitual offenders. However, we also urge job seekers and their families to remain vigilant and not fall prey to such fraudulent schemes.”
It is pertinent to mention that the Economic Offences Wing, Crime Branch of Jammu and Kashmir Police on December 05. 2023 filed a charge sheet against a couple for allegedly cheating a lecturer of Rs 6 lakh on the promise of arranging a plot of land from the Jammu Development Authority (JDA), an official said.
The then Economic Offences Wing of Crime Branch Jammu filed the 214-page charge sheet in a court against Jameel Anjum, son of Nasir Ahmed and his wife Sana Mir, both residents of H.No.45 Naraian Mohalla Jammu for allegedly cheating a lecturer. At that time, on receipt of the complaint, a preliminary inquiry was initiated and the allegations were prima-facie substantiated, leading to the registration of a formal case under FIR No. 63/2023 U/S 420, 120-B RPC P/S Crime Branch Jammu for in-depth investigation.
During the course of investigation, the official said material evidence was gathered and it came to fore that Anjum and his wife connived and duped the complainant.
It is absolutely imperative to maintain a stringent and continuous vigil on the close family members, relatives, and associates of the notorious fraudster Jameel Anjum, as it is highly improbable that he orchestrated such a massive financial scam single-handedly. Reliable sources have indicated that during the period of his fraudulent operations, several victims who visited his residence—House No. 45, Narian Mohalla, Jammu—were reportedly received and dealt with by his family members, even in his absence. This strongly suggests the possibility of their active involvement or, at the very least, their knowledge and facilitation of the deceitful activities.
Given the scale and sophistication of huge amount job scam, the role of accomplices, especially those within his immediate circle, cannot be ruled out. It is crucial for investigating agencies to thoroughly probe this angle and unravel the entire nexus to ensure that all culprits, whether direct perpetrators or silent enablers, are brought to justice without delay.
