The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Jammu and Kashmir has filed a chargesheet in Sopore against an individual accused of defrauding a complainant by promising an AT&T inbound sales call project.
The Chenab Times has learned that the chargesheet was presented before the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sopore, in connection with FIR No. 44/2023. The case has been registered under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code.
The accused, identified as Harkeet Singh, son of Guru Mohan Singh, a resident of Lal Bangla in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly induced the complainant to part with money under the false pretext of providing a lucrative business project.
