Srinagar: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kashmir of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a charge sheet against two accused persons in connection with a cheating and conspiracy case involving a fake promise of a government job.
The charge sheet was presented in the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Budgam, for judicial determination.
The case owes its origin from a written complaint alleging that Mst. Ishrat Bano, daughter of Mohammad Ayoub Bhat, resident of Zirhama, District Kupwara, dishonestly induced the complainant to part with a sum of ₹11,00,000 on the false pretext that her husband would arrange a government job for him.
Acting on this assurance, the complainant transferred the said amount into a bank account. Despite repeated assurances, neither was any government job arranged nor was the money returned.
EOW says that during investigation, it surfaced that the amount was credited into the bank account of accused Gulzar Ahmad Wani alias Shahid, son of Shamas Din Wani, resident of Zirhama/Liderwan, Kupwara.
The probe further revealed that there existed no husband-wife relationship between the accused Gulzar Ahmad Wani alias Shahid and Ishrat Bano, exposing the conspiracy and fraudulent intent behind the transaction.
The investigation established prima facie involvement of both accused in acts of cheating and criminal conspiracy. Consequently, the case was registered at Police Station EOW Srinagar (Crime Branch Kashmir) and, after completion of investigation, the allegations were found proved.
Accordingly, the charge sheet has been submitted before the competent court for judicial adjudication, EOW said.
