Srinagar: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a chargesheet before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar, in connection with FIR No. 23/2025, against four individuals for their alleged involvement in a significant land-sale fraud.
The accused—Tariq Ahmad Hajam (son of Mohd Ramzan Hajam), Ghulam Hassan Mir (son of Ghulam Rasool Mir), Mohd Sultan Mir alias Sulla (son of Abdul Khaliq Mir), and Abdul Razaq Mir (son of Abdul Khaliq Mir)—all residents of Barthana Qamarwari, Srinagar, have been charged under Sections 420 and 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code, the CBK said in a statement issued here.
The case stems from a complaint alleging that the accused deceitfully obtained ₹53 lakh from the complainant and his father under the false pretense of selling land, the statement said.
Preliminary inquiry and subsequent investigation by the EOW revealed that the accused, acting in conspiracy, received the full payment but fraudulently sold the same parcel of land to other parties. They even transferred portions of the land to their own family members.
Through detailed examination of oral testimonies and documentary evidence, investigators established that the accused had conspired to cheat the complainant and unlawfully appropriated the payment for land measuring 2.09 kanals at Estate Barthana, Srinagar. With the filing of the chargesheet, the case is now ready for judicial proceedings.
The EOW Kashmir reiterated its commitment to protecting citizens from economic offenses and ensuring justice through transparent and thorough investigations.
