According to officials, the case began after a written complaint was received by the Crime Branch. The complainant alleged that in 2021 he came into contact with the accused, who falsely claimed to be a senior government officer.
The accused allegedly promised the complainant and several others that he could arrange government jobs in return for money. Trusting these assurances, the complainant deposited several lakhs of rupees into the accused’s bank account through nine separate transactions.
However, despite repeated promises, the accused neither arranged any government employment nor returned the money. The complainant later realised that he had been cheated.
Following the complaint, Economic Offences Wing Kashmir (earlier known as Crime Branch Kashmir) conducted a detailed investigation into the matter. During the probe, the allegations made by the complainant were found to be prima facie true.
Investigators concluded that the accused had deliberately deceived the complainant with dishonest intentions, causing him serious financial loss. The actions of the accused were found to clearly amount to the offence of cheating under Section 420 IPC.
After completing the investigation, EOW Kashmir submitted the chargesheet before the court for judicial consideration. Further legal proceedings in the case will now be decided by the court.
