SRINAGAR, Dec 31: The Crime Branch Kashmir (CBK) today filed a chargesheet in a cheating case involving allegations of duping people on the pretext of providing Government jobs.
According to CBK, the chargesheet has been submitted before the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Budgam, in connection with FIR No. 13/2023 registered under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The accused has been identified as Ghulam Nabi Hudda, son of Mohammad Hudda, a resident of Satakchay, Kargil, at present Gasiyar Hawal, Zadibal, Srinagar.
As per the agency, the case originated from a written complaint alleging that in 2021 the complainant came into contact with the accused, who falsely introduced himself as a high-ranking Government officer.
“The accused allegedly assured the complainant and others of securing government jobs in lieu of monetary consideration,” CBK said.
On the basis of these false assurances, the complainant, CBK said, deposited lakhs of rupees into the accused’s bank account (Account No. 0100010100007704) in nine separate instalments.
“However, despite repeated assurances, the accused neither arranged the promised Government employment nor refunded the money received, thereby, cheating the complainant,” CBK Said.
Following receipt of the complaint, the CB team initiated a detailed probe into the matter.
“During investigation, the allegations levelled by the complainant were found to be prima facie substantiated,” the agency said.
The investigation further established that the accused had intentionally deceived the complainant with dishonest intentions, causing wrongful financial loss.
The acts of omission and commission on the part of the accused clearly disclose the commission of an offence punishable under Section 420 IPC, CBK said. “Accordingly, after completion of investigation, the chargesheet has been submitted before the Court of Law for judicial adjudication.”
