The Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch has officially filed a case against two individuals for their alleged involvement in a significant fraud related to medicine procurement during the Covid-19 pandemic. The accused, residents of Peerbagh and Sanat Nagar in Srinagar, reportedly posed as delegates of the J&K Ministry and OSD Supplies to deceive departments and institutions into transferring payments for medical supplies to fraudulently opened bank accounts.
According to a spokesperson, the accused utilized deceptive tactics to obtain Rs 27 lakh from a government office and had plans to fraudulently withdraw Rs 2.24 crore from a government medical institution. The case involves offenses under various sections of the IPC and the IT Act, with investigations currently ongoing to uncover further details and evidence.
The J&K Police and security forces are actively involved in combating drug smuggling, drug peddling, and hawala money rackets, believed to fund terrorism in the region. In a comprehensive effort to dismantle terror support networks, authorities are targeting terrorists, their associates, sympathizers, and individuals engaged in illicit financial activities and drug trafficking.
