Crime Branch files chargesheet against four in Rs 53 lakh land fraud case

In a statement, a CBK spokesperson said that the case originated from a complaint alleging that the accused persons deceitfully obtained a sum of ₹53 lakh from the complainant and his father under the pretext of selling land. Preliminary inquiry and subsequent investigation by the Economic Offences Wing revealed that the accused, acting in connivance, received the full payment but fraudulently sold the same parcel of land to other parties and even transferred portions of it to their own family members.

He added that through meticulous examination of both oral and documentary evidence, investigators established that the accused had orchestrated a deliberate criminal conspiracy to cheat the complainant and unlawfully grabbed the amount paid for land measuring 2.09 kanals at Estate Barthana, Srinagar. With filing of the Chargesheet, the matter is ready for judicial adjudication.

The EOW of Crime Branch Kashmir reiterates its unwavering commitment to safeguarding citizens from economic offences and ensuring justice through transparent, professional, and comprehensive investigations.
