Major Scam Uncovered: Five Booked in National Health Mission Fake Selection List Case in Kashmir

In a significant development concerning a major employment fraud, Crime Branch Kashmir has taken decisive action, booking five individuals allegedly involved in a sophisticated scam related to the National Health Mission (NHM) in Kashmir. The accused stand charged with orchestrating and circulating a fabricated selection list for various coveted positions under the NHM, dating back to 2015, which deceived numerous job aspirants.

The elaborate scheme came to light following a formal complaint lodged by the Director Health Services, Kashmir.

The complaint detailed the circulation of a spurious selection list for posts such as Block Programme Manager, Accountant, and other critical roles within the NHM.

As a result of the thorough probe, an FIR has been formally registered against the five accused.

The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities committed to uncovering the full extent of the conspiracy and ensuring that all those responsible for this egregious act of deception are brought to justice. This booking serves as a stark reminder of the vigilance required to combat such fraudulent practices that prey on the aspirations of job seekers.
