Fake Official Letter Using Forged Signatures of Hon’ble LG: EOW Kashmir Files Chargesheet
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Crime Branch Kashmir, has filed a chargesheet in case FIR No. 29/2026 under Sections 204, 319(2), 336(2) and 340(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) before the Hon’ble Court of Sub-Judge, Srinagar against accused Saqlain Mushtaq Dar, son of Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, resident of Deeri, Pulwama.
The case relates to a forged communication purportedly addressed to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Anantnag, in which the sender falsely impersonated the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor, UT of Jammu & Kashmir.

Accordingly, the investigation has been concluded as “Proved” and the chargesheet has been presented before the Hon’ble Court for judicial determination.
The general public is advised to remain vigilant against attempts involving impersonation of public authorities, fabrication and use of forged letters, documents, official letterheads and signatures. Members of the public are urged to verify the authenticity of any suspicious communication purportedly issued by government authorities or public officials and to immediately report any such instance to the Economic Offences Wing, Crime Branch J&K.
