The J&K Police’s Crime Branch announced filing a charge sheet in court regarding a Rs 26 lakh international impersonation fraud case. The charge sheet, submitted against accused Jumbom Riba from Arunachal Pradesh, involves a complex online cheating and impersonation scheme with global ramifications. The case stemmed from a complaint where the victim was lured into transferring funds by promises of business opportunities related to a product from Arunachal Pradesh.
The accused allegedly used fake identity documents to open multiple bank accounts under different names, facilitating the fraudulent transactions. Investigation revealed a series of inter-bank transfers and cash withdrawals without legitimate income sources. The probe confirmed offenses including cheating, impersonation, forgery, and use of fake documents, leading to the production of a charge sheet for judicial review. The EOW Kashmir emphasized vigilance against online and offline fraud schemes to prevent falling victim to such scams.
