Srinagar, Oct 14: The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a chargesheet in connection with a case under FIR number 253/2023 of Police Station Kupwara under Sections 420 IPC and 66D of the IT Act.
The chargesheet was formally submitted before the Court of Sub Judge, Kupwara, a statement issued reads.
The case originated from a complaint received at Police Post Dragmulla, Kupwara, alleging that one Salim Akbar, son of Mohammad Akbar, resident of Hyhama Batapora, Kupwara (currently residing at Malpora Nagri Hatmullah), was involved in fraudulent activities targeting innocent insurance policy holders.
“Preliminary enquiry revealed that the accused, a former tele-caller with reputed insurance firms including Max Life Insurance and Aditya Birla Sun Life, had deceitfully collected policy installment payments from clients. These payments were directed into bank accounts of his choice, without the knowledge or authorization of the actual insurance companies,” the statement reads.
“Investigations further indicated that Salim Akbar, along with accomplices, orchestrated a systematic scam, thereby committing acts of cheating and breach of trust. Based on the enquiry findings, a formal FIR was registered at P/S Kupwara under relevant sections of law, and the investigation was subsequently transferred to the Crime Branch, Srinagar,” he added.
Accordingly, the statement added that a chargesheet in the matter has been submitted before the Court of Law for judicial determination.
“The chargesheet marks a significant step towards ensuring accountability in white-collar crimes and safeguarding the interests of citizens against financial fraud,” it reads. (KNO)
