Economic Offences Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir) Busts ₹46.90 Lakh Online Supply Scam, Case Registered

 

The Economic Offences Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir) received a written complaint wherein it was alleged that a person based in Pune, claiming to be the proprietor of a firm named D.K. Enterprises, contacted the complainant and assured the supply of “Sifine Natural Nut”. However, despite receiving an advance payment, the consignment was never delivered, thereby cheating the complainant of ₹46.90 lakhs.

 

 

 

 

Upon receipt of the complaint, a preliminary enquiry was initiated at the Economic Offences Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir).

 

 

 

During the course of the probe, it prima facie surfaced that the alleged supplier, by deceitful means, placed a false supply order and misrepresented D.K. Enterprises as a legitimate supplier of “Sifine Natural Nut”. The complainant was induced to part with the money on this pretext, which later turned out to be fraudulent.

 

 

 

 

 

The acts on part of the accused thus prima facie disclose the commission of cognizable offences punishable under Section 420 of the IPC read with Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act.

 

 

 

Accordingly, cognizance has been taken and a formal case has been registered at Police Station Economic Offences Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir).

Further investigation into the matter is in progress.
