J&K Crime Branch has initiated legal action in response to a fraudulent overseas job scheme where a man was tricked and taken to Cambodia under false pretenses. The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch Kashmir disclosed that a case has been filed after the victim fell prey to a deceitful job consultancy promising overseas employment.
The complainant was enticed by an unauthorized consultancy in Kashmir’s Pattan area, offering a high-paying job as a computer operator abroad. Believing the false assurances, the victim transferred a significant sum to the consultant’s account and bore additional expenses for travel arrangements.
Upon reaching Cambodia, the victim was allegedly coerced into engaging in fraudulent online activities instead of receiving the promised job. Realizing the deception, the victim reported the incident, leading to the registration of a formal case under Section 318(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita by the Economic Offences Wing in Srinagar.
The J&K Police, particularly the Crime Branch, are actively combating financial frauds. Specialized teams within the Crime Branch are dedicated to investigating such cases, ensuring a focused approach to handling complex financial crimes in the region.
