The Special Crime Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir (CBK) conducted house searches at five locations across Srinagar and Budgam districts on Saturday. The operation relates to an ongoing investigation into a cheating case involving fraudulent land sales.
According to an official spokesperson for CBK, the searches aimed to gather evidence connected to allegations that a complainant had been deceived through the sale of land that wasn’t owned by the sellers.
The case arose after the complainant reported being misled by fraudulent land documents. These documents, which the complainant believed to be authentic, led to the payment of substantial sums amounting to lakhs of rupees. However, inquiries later revealed the land was never actually owned by the individuals involved in the sale.
During the operation, teams employed meticulous methods to document findings that could strengthen the investigation. The statement confirmed, “House Searches are underway and further investigation is in progress.” This reflects CBK’s commitment to addressing and resolving cases of public fraud.
The Special Crime Wing, a vital branch of the Crime Branch Kashmir, focuses on serious criminal activities, including fraud and organized crime. Their recent actions underline the increasing vigilance in tackling cheating cases that exploit vulnerable individuals in the region.
The CBK has urged the public to remain cautious while engaging in real estate transactions. “Always verify property documents through legitimate channels,” the spokesperson advised, highlighting the necessity of due diligence to avoid falling victim to similar scams.
With its recent actions, the CBK reinforces its role as a guardian of public trust and safety. The continued efforts of law enforcement agencies intend to bring justice to those wronged by fraudulent activities.
