Jammu Tawi: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch, Jammu, has filed chargesheets in two separate fraud cases before the competent courts after completing detailed investigations.
According to an official communiqué, the Economic Offences Wing filed a chargesheet in a fraud case involving M/s Gold Sukh Trade India Ltd., Jaipur, in which the accused allegedly induced investors to deposit money by promising exorbitant returns and subsequently misappropriated their investments.
The case was registered under the relevant sections on the basis of a written complaint lodged by Ashish Sharma at Police Station Gandhi Nagar, Jammu. The complainant alleged that he was induced to invest Rs. 1,20,480 by the company and its local representatives on the false promise of high returns.
The case was later transferred to Crime Branch Jammu for indepth investigation.
During investigation it came to fore that numerous investors were induced to invest Rs 30.29 lakh in the company’s schemes through false promises of extraordinarily high returns.
The company, though incorporated in Rajasthan, was found to be unregistered with SEBI, RBI and the Registrar of Companies, J&K.
Based on oral, documentary and bank evidence, the chargesheet has been filed against Manvendra Partap Singh Chouhan, Bablu Sharma, Mahendra Kumar Nirwan, Neeraj Kant Sharma and Vinod Kundal before the Court of 13 FC Special Mobile Magistrate Jammu.
In another case, it read that the Economic Offences Wing filed a chargesheet relating to the fraudulent procurement of Permanent Resident Certificates (PRCs) on the basis of forged revenue records.
The case was registered on a written complaint lodged by Surat Singh at “PS” Crime Branch Jammu wherein complainant alleged that the accused in conspiracy with revenue officials, fraudulently obtained fake PRCs to purchase land and secure government jobs in Jammu and Kashmir.
During investigation it came to fore that Sarup Singh, Bishamber Singh, Purab Singh and Suraj Singh, in conspiracy with the then Patwari Rashpal Singh, fraudulently obtained PRCs by using forged Nakal Shajra Nasab and Nakal Jamabandi. Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) examination confirmed that the questioned revenue documents had been prepared by the then Patwari and were not genuine as per official revenue records. Accordingly, the chargesheet has been filed before the Court of Additional Session Judge Anti Corruption Jammu for judicial determination.
The general public is advised to remain vigilant against such economic frauds and report any such incident to SSP Crime Branch EOW Jammu (Crime Branch, J&K).
