# EOW Kashmir files chargesheet in job fraud case, arrests man in Rs 2 crore scam 2026-08-22T05:53:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet (2 source reports) The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kashmir of the Crime Branch has filed a chargesheet against Abdul Majeed Mir, a habitual offender accused of cheating a job aspirant of lakhs of rupees by providing a fake appointment order purportedly from J&K Bank. The chargesheet was presented before the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kupwara, in connection with FIR No. 18/2026. Mir, a resident of Lashtiyal Kalaroos, Kupwara, is involved in 15 criminal cases across Kashmir Valley and is currently lodged in Central Jail Srinagar. In a separate operation, EOW Kashmir arrested Junaid Ul Islam from Bengaluru for allegedly cheating several people of around Rs 2 crore through a fraudulent investment scheme promising monthly returns of 10 per cent. Junaid was arrested from Mangammanapalya in Bengaluru in compliance with a warrant from the Court of the 4th Additional Munsiff Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar. He had been evading arrest for nearly a year. The investigation found that the accused collected money through multiple bank accounts but failed to honor commitments and became unresponsive. Further investigation is underway. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both stories from greaterkashmir.com are straightforward police-released reports with no critical or pro-government slant. The coverage uniformly presents the EOW's actions as lawful and necessary, with no independent verification or questioning of the investigation's pace or methods. The measured read is that these are routine progress updates on financial fraud cases, with the key takeaway being the EOW's operational reach, one chargesheet filed in a Kupwara court, one arrest made in Bengaluru, indicating cross-regional enforcement. Watch for the judicial outcomes of these cases, particularly whether Abdul Majeed Mir's 15 prior cases lead to a harsher sentence. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - greaterkashmir.com (neutral report) Straight police press release reporting, no editorial comment or critical framing. - greaterkashmir.com (2) (neutral report) Direct reproduction of police statement, no independent analysis or stance.
