The EoW said the case originated from a written complaint alleging that the accused is a habitual offender who employed a calculated modus operandi to defraud innocent individuals. It was reported that after receiving payments, the accused deliberately failed to honour commitments and, in an attempt to evade legal action & recovery proceedings, transferred or registered acquired properties in the name of his wife.
"Upon receipt of the complaint, the Economic Offences Wing initiated a detailed probe. During the course of investigation, it was prima facie established that the accused had cheated the complai-nant of Rs. 55.11 lakhs un-der the pretext of selling a residential house.
Despite receiving the payment, the accused sold the same property to another individual," EoW said
Further investigation revealed that the said property had already been mortgaged with J&K Bank, Branch Office Bhagat, Srinagar. Notably, the complainant had also liquidated the outstanding housing loan associated with the property. The investigation concluded that the actions of the accused constitute a cognizable offence under Section 420 IPC.
