Upon receipt of a written complaint alleging manipulation of the date of birth in the service records of the then I/C Superintendent Engineer, J&K State Power Development Corporation, a probe was initiated at P/S Crime Branch Kashmir (now Economic Offences Wing Kashmir).

The general public is advised to remain vigilant against economic fraudsters and report any such incidents directly to SSP EOW Kashmir, Crime Branch J&K. Victims of economic fraud may also send their complaints to the official email: sspeow-kmr@jkpolice.gov.in.
