Srinagar, Oct 12: The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch Kashmir (CBK) has executed a long-pending warrant and arrested Khalid Sahani, a resident of Shaheed Gunj, Srinagar, who had been evading arrest for four years in a financial fraud case.
According to a CBK handout, the warrant against Sahani—son of Farooq Sahani—was issued by the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Vailoo, Anantnag, on December 3, 2021, under Section 512 CrPC in connection with FIR No. 38/2018 registered under Sections 419 and 420 RPC at Police Station Crime Branch Kashmir.
Acting on credible inputs, the agency apprehended Sahani on October 10, 2025, and produced him before the court, which subsequently remanded him to judicial custody and directed that he be lodged in Central Jail Srinagar.
The CBK said the successful execution of the long-pending warrant marks a significant step in pursuing justice in the case and reaffirmed its commitment to bringing economic offenders to book, regardless of how long they evade the law.
