According to the allegations, Afzal posed as the sole owner of someone else's land and sold two kanals of land in Sidhra Jammu to a reputed doctor's wife for a total consideration of Rs 2.25 crore, out of which Rs 1.80 crore had been paid in advance. However, it later emerged that the land belonged to someone else, and Afzal did not return the sum.
After a written complaint was received from the doctor's wife in 2023, a FIR was registered, and an in-depth investigation was conducted by the highly professional investigating officer (IO). The investigation proved a case of cheating, fraud, and forgery against Afzal and his wife.
Afzal was arrested from Srinagar by the team of CB Jammu after hectic efforts, while his wife was bailed out. The Senior Superintendent of Police Crime Jammu, Benam Tosh, stated that the charge-sheet has been filed in the court of law for judicial determination.
The incident highlights the need for stringent measures to prevent real estate frauds and protect innocent people from falling prey to such scams.
