The Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Crime Branch disclosed that they have filed three cases against a fraudster, urging individuals to contact them promptly if they suspect being victims of financial deceit. The accused, Abdul Majeed Mir, from Kupwara, allegedly duped multiple people by promising them government positions in various departments and financial organizations. Investigations revealed that he amassed significant sums by falsely guaranteeing government jobs.
The fraudster produced fake appointment letters supposedly issued by government bodies and J&K Bank to deceive and win the trust of his victims. The accused’s actions potentially violate sections of the Ranbir Penal Code, the Indian Penal Code, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Abdul Majeed Mir, a repeat offender, faces charges previously filed by the Crime Branch Kashmir.
The public is advised to be cautious of financial fraudsters and report any such incidents directly to SSP EOW Kashmir (Crime Branch J&K), Abdul Waheed Shah. Victims of economic fraud can also lodge complaints via email at ss********@**********ov.in. The J&K Crime Branch has specialized teams to handle economic crimes involving sophisticated techniques and strategies, with the Economic Offences Wing focusing solely on financial offenses.
