Ex-Cop Charged with Real Estate Fraud Worth ₹1.80 Crore in Jammu
Real Estate News:In a major breakthrough, the Crime Branch (EOW) Jammu has filed a chargesheet against a former police officer, Mohammad Afzal Beg, for real estate fraud worth ₹1.80 crore with a reputed doctor's wife in Jammu. Beg, a former Constable of J&K Armed Police, illegally indulged in property dealing while in government service and subsequently resigned from IRP 19th Battalion Kathua in 2022.

According to the chargesheet, Beg posed as the sole owner of someone else's land and sold two kanals of land in Sidhra, Jammu, to the doctor's wife for a total consideration of ₹2.25 crore, out of which ₹1.80 crore was paid in advance. However, it was later discovered that the land belonged to someone else, and Beg failed to return the sum.

After a thorough investigation, the Crime Branch arrested Beg from Srinagar, and his wife was granted bail. Benam Tosh, Senior Superintendent of Police Crime Jammu, stated that the chargesheet has been filed in court for judicial determination.

This case highlights the importance of vigilance and strict action against those who abuse their power for personal gain. The Crime Branch's efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice are commendable, and it is hoped that this will serve as a deterrent to others who may be involved in similar fraudulent activities.
