10 Accused Charge-Sheeted for Fictitious Compensation Fraud in Anantnag District
Srinagar, November 7, 2025:The Economic Offences Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a charge-sheet in FIR No. 12/2015 under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B RPC, read with Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, before the Hon’ble Court of Special Judge Anti-Corruption, Anantnag. The charge-sheet has been produced against ten accused individuals for their alleged involvement in a fraudulent land compensation case in Anantnag District.
The case relates to the fraudulent release of compensation amounts in favour of non-existent beneficiaries, whose land was falsely shown as acquired by the Government during the construction of the Verinag–Kokernag road via Batagund.
Investigations revealed that certain officials of the Revenue Department — including the then Tehsildar Dooru, Naib Tehsildar Dooru, Girdawar Dooru, and Pathwari Dooru — in criminal conspiracy with private individuals, manipulated and forged revenue records to facilitate the illegal disbursement of compensation funds. Fictitious entries were allegedly made in official documents to obtain wrongful monetary gains, resulting in substantial loss to the State exchequer and eroding public trust in the administrative process.
After comprehensive investigation and collection of evidence, the Economic Offences Wing has filed the charge-sheet before the Hon’ble Court for judicial determination.
The Crime Branch Kashmir reiterates its firm commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity in public administration and assures that all individuals involved in economic offences will be brought to justice in accordance with law. KNT
