Crime Branch Jammu produced charge-sheet against retrospectively retired Special Secretary (Legal) Home Department J&K government Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Ganai for misusing his official position, whereby he took unauthorized custody of his service book and forged his date of birth to get undue benefits as a public servant.
The charge-sheet has been produced in the court of Special Anti-Corruption, Jammu in a record time of 48 days of the registration of the case for judicial determination.
The case owes its origin to a written communication made with Crime Branch Jammu, by the J&K Government along with allied documents including a written complaint.
It was also alleged that the accused has forged and manipulated his own date of birth in official records. As per his actual D.O.B, he was supposed to have retired two years back in March, 2019. By forgery and manipulations the accused has added four more years to his due government service, at senior rank by taking undue advantage of his official position.
As per an official statement by crime branch, “On the basis of complaint and enquiry report, the instant criminal case was registered by Crime Branch Jammu on 09-03-2021 for in-depth investigation. Consequently, the accused was arrested by Crime Branch team to face the investigation. The accused was retrospectively superannuated from service on 05.03.2021 by the Govt. w.e.f the date on which he should have retired, i.e. March 2019”.
During the further course of investigation records were seized, statements of the witnesses were recorded and scientific evidence was sought which established that the accused Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Ganai had forged his date of birth from 03.03.1959 to 03.03.1963 by misusing his official position as a Public Servant.
