Jammu, June 4: Special Municipal Mobile Magistrate Jammu Rajni Bahgat rejected the bail application of Jameel Anjum who duped innocent unemployed youth on the pretext of providing Govt Jobs.
The applicant Jameel Anjum was arrested on a written complainant of one Rashid Manhas, wherein he alleged that the accused person duped him of Rs 10 lakh cash and Gold ornaments worth Rs 5.0 lakh on the pretext of providing govt. jobs to the complainant and his sister.
Special Municipal Magistrate after hearing observed that the accused has moved the present application seeking regular bail but from perusal of the material on record reveals that the accused is involved in a well-orchestrated criminal conspiracy whereby he impersonated himself as a person with high-level connections in the Civil Secretariat and Education Department.
He deceitfully induced the complainant and his family into paying huge amounts of money on the false assurance of providing government jobs.
Forged appointment letters and other fabricated documents were supplied to bolster the deceit The material collected during investigation prima facie indicates that the accused is not only a repeated offender but has made crime a profession, having more than 10 FIRs registered against him on similar allegations.
Furthermore, the investigation is at a crucial stage, where recovery of forged documents, identification of co-accused, and seizure of electronic gadgets used for fabrication of fake appointment letters is still underway. Granting bail at this juncture may result in tampering with evidence and influencing the witnesses.
In view of the serious nature of allegations, the habitual conduct of the accused, and in light of the bar under Section 437(1) CrPC, this Court is of the considered opinion that no case is made out by applicant/accused for grant of bail at this stage, therefore application has no merit and is dismissed as such.
