Srinagar, Jul 25: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Kashmir, of the Crime Branch J&K has filed a chargesheet in a job fraud case against an accused who allegedly lured a man with the promise of a ₹90,000-per-month computer operator job in Cambodia, only for the victim to be forced into online scamming upon reaching the Southeast Asian country, officials said on Saturday
“The EOW Kashmir submitted a chargesheet in FIR No. 19/2026 under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against Mohd Yaseen Rather, son of Nisar Ahmad Rather, resident of Kripalpora Payeen, Pattan, before the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class,” the officials said.
In a press statement, an official spokesperson sad that the investigation was initiated on a complaint alleging that the accused fraudulently promised the complainant a job as a Computer Operator in Cambodia with a monthly salary of Rs. 90,000.
Believing the promise, he said, the complainant transferred lakhs of rupees into the bank account of the accused and also spent substantial amounts on visa processing, travel and other related expenses. However, upon reaching Cambodia, he was forced to engage in online scamming activities instead of being provided the promised employment.
The investigation established the allegations as proved, and the chargesheet has accordingly been filed before the competent court, the statement said.
