The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a chargesheet before the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar, in FIR No. 23/2025, against four accused persons for their alleged involvement in a major 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 case stems from a complaint alleging that the accused fraudulently obtained ₹53 lakh from the complainant and his father on the pretext of selling land. During the preliminary enquiry and subsequent investigation, the EOW found that the accused, acting in connivance, received the full payment but dishonestly sold the same parcel of land to other parties and also transferred portions of it to their own family members.
Based on a detailed examination of oral and documentary evidence, investigators established that the accused hatched a deliberate criminal conspiracy to cheat the complainant and misappropriate the amount paid for land measuring 2.09 kanals at Estate Barthana, Srinagar. With the filing of the chargesheet, the case is now ready for judicial adjudication.
The Economic Offences Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir reiterated its commitment to protecting citizens from economic crimes and ensuring justice through transparent, professional, and thorough investigations.
