Srinagar, June 20
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Jammu and Kashmir’s Crime Branch has filed a chargesheet in an alleged telecom project fraud case involving promises of securing a business contract with a United States-based company, officials said on Saturday.
The chargesheet was submitted before the court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Sopore in connection with FIR No 44 of 2023 registered under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code.
The accused has been identified as Harkeet Singh, a resident of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
According to investigators, the case stemmed from a complaint alleging that Singh induced the complainant to transfer money by promising to secure an inbound sales call project purportedly linked to AT&T, a US-based telecommunications company.
The EOW said its investigation found evidence suggesting the complainant had been deceived through false assurances and financial inducements.
Following completion of the probe, authorities submitted the chargesheet to the court for trial proceedings.
The Crime Branch urged citizens to remain vigilant against financial fraud and report suspected economic offences to law-enforcement agencies.
