EOW Kashmir Files Chargesheet Against Four in ₹53 Lakh Land-Sale Fraud Case
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a Chargesheet before the Hon’ble Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar, in case FIR No. 23/2025, against four accused individuals 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 for offences punishable under Sections 420 and 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code.
The case originated from a complaint alleging that the accused persons deceitfully obtained a sum of ₹53 lakh from the complainant and his father under the pretext of selling land. Preliminary inquiry and subsequent investigation by the Economic Offences Wing revealed that the accused, acting in connivance, received the full payment but fraudulently sold the same parcel of land to other parties and even transferred portions of it to their own family members.
Through meticulous examination of both oral and documentary evidence, investigators established that the accused had orchestrated a deliberate criminal conspiracy to cheat the complainant and unlawfully grabbed the amount paid for land measuring 2.09 kanals at Estate Barthana, Srinagar. With filing of the Chargesheet, the matter is ready for judicial adjudication.
The EOW of Crime Branch Kashmir reiterates its unwavering commitment to safeguarding citizens from economic offences and ensuring justice through transparent, professional, and comprehensive investigations.
