Srinagar, October 5, 2025 : The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has registered an FIR against a Pune-based fraudster for allegedly duping a complainant of ₹46.90 lakh on the pretext of supplying “Sifine Natural Nut.”
According to officials, the EOW received a written complaint stating that a person posing as the proprietor of D.K. Enterprises, Pune, assured the complainant of delivering the product after receiving an advance payment of ₹46.9 lakh. However, no consignment was ever delivered.
A preliminary enquiry initiated by the Crime Branch revealed that the accused had deceitfully posed as a legitimate supplier, issuing a false supply order and misrepresenting D.K. Enterprises as an authentic firm. The complainant was fraudulently induced to transfer the money, which was later found to be part of a well-planned scam.
“The acts of the accused prima facie constitute offences under Section 420 of the IPC (Cheating) read with Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act,” the statement read.
The EOW has registered a formal case at its police station, and further investigation is underway to trace the accused and recover the defrauded amount.
