Ex-Cop and Wife in Jammu Embroiled in Rs 1.80 Crore Real Estate Scam
Real Estate:In a shocking case of real estate fraud, a former police constable and his wife have been charged by the Crime Branch Jammu for duping a reputed doctor's wife of Rs 1.80 crore. The accused, Mohd Afzal Beg, and his wife were involved in an illegal property deal while serving in the J&K Armed Police. Beg, who resigned from the IRP 19th Battalion Kathua in 2022, was accused of fraudulently selling two kanals of land in Sidhra, Jammu, to the doctor's wife. Posing as the sole owner, Beg received an advance payment of Rs 1.80 crore out of the total Rs 2.25 crore, but it was later discovered that the land belonged to someone else.

Despite numerous requests, Beg failed to return the advance payment. Following a written complaint in 2023, an FIR was registered, and an in-depth investigation was conducted, which confirmed the allegations of cheating, fraud, and forgery against Beg and his wife. After significant efforts, Beg was arrested in Srinagar, while his wife has been granted bail.

The case is now awaiting judicial determination. The Crime Branch Jammu has filed a chargesheet against the duo, highlighting the seriousness of the crime. Real estate frauds are on the rise in Jammu and Kashmir, and this case serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and due diligence in property transactions.
