The Economic Offences Wing of crime branch, Kashmir, has filed a chargesheet in the court of chief judicial magistrate, Srinagar, against a Srinagar resident accused of securing employment at a government hospital using forged medical credentials.
According to officials, the chargesheet, filed under sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 201 of RPC was submitted against Numan Farooq Wani, son of Farooq Ahmad Wani, a resident of Abu Bakar Lane, Umarabad Zainakote, Srinagar.
He is accused of submitting a fake Medical Council of India (MCI) registration certificate along with forged MBBS and MD documents at the time of his engagement at SKIMS Medical College and Hospital, Bemina.
The case was initiated after the Economic Offences Wing received a complaint, alleging that Wani had been fraudulently working as a doctor at SKIMS since December 2016, drawing a salary from the government exchequer based on forged documents.
The complaint alleged that the MBBS, MD certificates and registration documents purportedly issued by the MCI and State Medical Council were fake.
Following a detailed investigation, the charges against Wani were found to be substantiated. The crime branch concluded the case as proved and submitted the final charge report for judicial determination, officials said.
