Jammu, September 14, 2026: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Jammu has filed a chargesheet against two accused persons in a case involving an alleged fraudulent land transaction of ₹16.50 lakh.
The chargesheet has been filed before the Court of the Special Municipal Mobile Magistrate, Jammu, in FIR No. 21/2025 registered under Sections 420 and 120-B of the IPC at Police Station Crime Branch EOW Jammu against Rahul Dasgotra and Sneha Verma.
The case originated from a written complaint lodged by Dr. Anjan Bhola, who alleged that Rahul Dasgotra represented himself as the owner of land at Village Patyari (Bhatyari), Bishnah, and induced him to enter into an agreement for the purchase of one kanal of land for ₹16.50 lakh.
During the investigation, the Crime Branch seized and examined the notarised Agreement to Sell dated June 20, 2023, along with relevant bank and revenue records.
According to the investigation, the complainant transferred ₹10 lakh and ₹6.50 lakh in two instalments into a Canara Bank account maintained in the name of Om Sai Construction, owned by Sneha Verma, wife of Rahul Dasgotra.
Verification of revenue records obtained from the Tehsildar, Bishnah, allegedly revealed that Khasra No. 1152 min, on the basis of which the subject land transaction had been represented, did not exist in Village Patyari (Bhatyari), Bishnah.
The investigation, conducted under the supervision of Dy. SP Goldy Sharma, found sufficient material against both accused persons, following which the chargesheet was filed before the competent court for judicial determination.
SSP Crime Branch EOW Jammu Faisal Qureshi has advised people to remain vigilant against fraudulent economic and property transactions and to report suspected financial frauds to the Crime Branch, J&K.
