JAMMU, Jan 23: Crime Branch Jammu today produced preliminary charge-sheet against the fraudster who allegedly duped victims of HIV and had evaded arrest for a long period being arrested from Meerut in UP, last November.
The accused Mohd Salman, son of Faim-U-Din of Meerut (UP) was involved in case FIR number 17/2015, under Section 420, 120-B/RPC, P/S Crime Branch, Jammu. The case was registered on a written complaint by the victim, whose husband had died being HIV positive and she also had contracted the said disease.
The victim came across an advertisement regarding assured treatment of the disease and contacted one Guru Kabir Bengali as she was anxious to get herself cured fast. She was induced and assured of treatment and was made to deposit money in account of the accused – Mohammad Salman. She was asked to deposit money repeatedly in different account numbers to the tune of Rs 9, 34,100. But to her utter dismay she was cheated and duped of her hard earned money.
