Jammu and Kashmir Police in Kupwara have busted a fake police verification racket; an FIR has been registered and incriminating material seized, police said.
In a media statement, a police spokesman said on 11/04/2025, Police Station Kupwara received a written complaint alleging that
a local computer shop was involved in the preparation and issuance of fake police verifications, which are required for applying for jobs such as porters.
He said, the complainant stated that he had approached a computer shop run by Nissar Ahmad Khan S/O Mohammad Khan R/O Kupwara, who promised to arrange the verification in exchange for money. A payment was made to the accused; however, upon receiving the verification document, it was found to be forged and fake.
Acting promptly on the complaint, FIR No. 103/2025 was registered at Police Station Kupwara under relevant sections of law, and investigation was immediately taken up, he said.
During the course of investigation, a search operation was carried out at the said computer shop in the presence of the Executive Magistrate, which led to the seizure of incriminating material suspected to have been used in the creation of fake documents.
Kupwara Police remains committed to upholding the rule of law and taking strict action against such fraudulent activities. Citizens are urged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious or illegal activities to the nearest police station, the spokesman added.
