Srinagar, Dec. 25 -- Crime branch Kashmir has filed a chargesheet in absentia against a woman of Arunachal Pradesh in connection with a sophisticated online cheating and impersonation case involving a fraud amounting to over Rs.26 lakh. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Kashmir submitted the chargesheet before the court of small causes, Srinagar, in an FIR registered under Sections 419, 420, 468, 471 of the RPC and Section 66-D of the Information Technology Act. A spokesperson of the wing said that the chargesheet has been filed against Jumbom Riba, daughter of Henjum Riba, of Pagi village, Basar area of Lepa Rada district in Arunachal Pradesh, for her alleged role in an online cheating racket with international dimensions. "The case originated from a written complaint in which the complainant alleged that he was contacted through social media by a woman identifying herself as 'Christiana', who claimed to be a secretary with Abbot Pharmaceutical, United Kingdom. The complainant was allegedly lured with promises of high profits and dealership rights for a product named 'Agasina Nut', purportedly sourced from Arunachal Pradesh, along with assurances of an international purchase agreement," the spokesperson said. Believing the claims to be genuine, the complainant transferred around Rs.26.25 lakh into multiple bank accounts. Investigators said the fraud was further facilitated through a staged and fake demonstration of currency conversion, which ultimately led to significantfinancial loss for the complainant. "During the course of investigation, EOW Kashmir established that the accused used forged identity documents, including fake voter ID cards, to open several bank accounts under the names of Tabu Juli and Aisha Kholi in different banks. These accounts were allegedly operated by the accused herself and used for routing, diversion, and withdrawal of the cheated money," the spokesperson said. Transaction analysis revealed rapid inter-bank transfers and cash withdrawals, with no legitimate source of income to justify the credits, officials said. The investigation, according to EOW Kashmir, conclusively proved offences of cheating, impersonation, forgery, and use of forged documents.htc...
