Jammu, March 16:
The Special Crime Wing (SCW) of the Crime Branch Jammu has filed a charge-sheet in FIR No. 07/2015 under Sections 420, 465, 466, 467, 468, 471, and 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code before the Hon’ble Court of Special Municipal Magistrate, Jammu.
The case involves a loan fraud in which the complainant was allegedly misled by the accused on the promise of a loan at 0% interest. The accused persuaded the complainant to deposit money and submit personal documents, including blank cheques, but neither provided the promised loan nor refunded the deposited amount.
During the investigation, it was revealed that the accused had created a fake entity called “Future Club” and used multiple bank accounts and mobile numbers to lure and cheat people. The investigation team collected financial transaction details, bank records, call detail records (CDRs), and other documentary evidence to substantiate the offences.
The probe established offences against the main accused, Gurab Kumar, while criminal conspiracy under Section 120-B RPC was also confirmed against Mungal Singh (deceased), Raj Kumar, and Parveen Kumar.
As the case is over a decade old, it was handled by several investigating officers over the years. Ultimately, Inspector Nisar Ahmed completed the investigation and submitted the charge-sheet to the competent court for judicial proceedings.
SSP SCW Crime Branch Jammu, Sh. Sanjay Parihar, urged the public to remain vigilant and avoid falling for schemes offering unrealistically low-interest loans or unusually high investment returns. He reaffirmed the Crime Branch’s dedication to bringing fraudsters to justice and safeguarding the public from financial crimes. (Agency)
