JAMMU, May 1: Crime Branch Jammu (CBJ) produced preliminary charge-sheet against two accused involved in a case of fraud.
The charge-sheet was produced against Tauseef Ahmed Bhat, son of Bashir Ahmed Bhatt of Mughal Musjid Hawal Srinagar and Shakeela, wife of Bashir Bhat of Mughal Musjid Hawal Srinagar (mother of Tauseef Ahmed Bhat), comprising 1229 page documents in case FIR No 21/2019 U/S 420,120-B RPC P/S Crime Branch Jammu on 24-04-2020 in the Court of Forest Magistrate Jammu for duping the complainant to the tune of Rs 6.5 crore approximately on account of a business deal of supplying dry fruit kernels. The accused persons in connivance with the prime accused - Reyaz Ahmed Matoo- who is at run, cheated the complainant after luring and inducing him of a big business deal worth crores of rupees.
The case owes its origin to a written complaint lodged by Raees Ahmad Prop. Wals Walnuts Industries Barmani Road Sunjwan, Jammu. The complainant had alleged that he started Fruit Business at Fruit Mandi Narwal and Factory at Bathindi Jammu in the name ‘Wals Walnuts Industries’ and one Reyaz Ahmed Matoo along-with his wife approached him and narrated that he is also a Dry Fruit Businessman, having business in the name ‘Sadaf Dry Fruit’ at Vidhata Nagar Bathindi Jammu, who started taking consignments from the complainant and initially continued making payments to build trust. One day he told the complainant that he had received a huge Army contract and a lot of Dry Fruits are required to be supplied to the Army. Presuming him to be a dependable and trust worthy person, the complainant supplied huge quantity of Dry Fruits worth tens of crores of rupees. In the meantime the accused persons shifted to Srinagar and went underground. The complainant further alleged that accused at one point of time had issued cheques worth Rs 1,45,50,000 to the complainant, but all the cheques were dishonoured due to insufficient balance in the suspect’s bank account and again went underground.
Taking cognizance of the matter, Crime Branch Jammu registered a criminal case U/S 420,120-B RPC P/S Crime Branch Jammu. During course of investigation it was established that Touseef Ahmed Bhat is main conspirator who hatched the conspiracy with accused Reyaz Ahmed Matto and Ruqaya to dupe the complainant of his money. Reyaz Ahmed Matoo has purchased land in the name of his wife and constructed building on it worth crores of rupees out of the money swindled from the complainant and then transferred it in the name of Shakeela Begum who is the mother of Touseef Ahmed Bhatt. During the course of investigation, Crime Branch Jammu conducted series of raids and finally arrested mother-son duo for the fraud, involving 6 crore & 50 Lakh.
Meanwhile, the bail applications filed by the arrested accused persons were vigorously contested by Crime Branch and got rejected in the Court of IInd Munsiff, Jammu once and subsequently in the court of Ld. Addl. Sessions Judge, Jammu twice. However, after filing of preliminary charge sheet against the arrested accused persons in the Court of Sub Judge, Jammu, the accused Shakeela Begum was bailed out by the said court. The other accused namely Tauseef Ahmed Bhat continues to be in the judicial custody. The next date of hearing of this case has been fixed on 9.05.2020.
