The agency said that the case originated from a written complaint alleging that the accused had adopted a calculated modus operandi to defraud individuals by taking money on the pretext of selling property and then failing to honour commitments.
The Economic Offences Wing initiated an investigation after receiving the complaint and found prima facie evidence that the accused had cheated the complainant of Rs 55.11 lakh by offering to sell a residential house.
Despite receiving the payment, the agency said, the accused allegedly sold the same property to another person.
The probe further revealed that the property in question had already been mortgaged with J&K Bank’s Bhagat branch in Srinagar.
Investigators also found that the complainant had cleared the outstanding housing loan linked to the property.
The Crime Branch said that the accused allegedly attempted to evade legal action and recovery by transferring or registering properties in the name of his wife.
The investigation concluded that the accused’s actions constituted a cognizable offence under Section 420 of the IPC, following which the chargesheet was filed before the competent court for judicial determination.
