Jammu,
The Special Crime Wing (SCW), Crime Branch Jammu has today filed charge sheets against four accused persons in two separate cheating cases, after completion of thorough investigation.
Sharing the details, Sh. Sanjay Parihar (JKPS), SSP SCW Jammu said,
The first chargesheet relates to Case FIR No. 09/2025 (U/S 420 IPC) was registered on the basis of a written complaint from Branch Manager, Bank of Maharashtra, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu.
Investigation revealed that M/s Shuhul Automobiles Pvt. Ltd. (an authorized Mahindra & Mahindra dealer) and its sales representative, Rakesh Sharma, conspired to induce the bank into sanctioning a car loan of ₹12,07,110 for a Mahindra Thar LX. While the bank transferred the full amount to the dealership, the vehicle was never delivered to the borrower, nor was it hypothecated to the bank as required by the loan scheme. The investigation established the guilt of Owais Guroo (Director of Shuhul Automobiles, resident of Srinagar) and Rakesh Sharma for causing wrongful loss to the bank. Investigating Officer Insp. Rajesh Kumar presented the chargesheet before the Railway Court, Jammu today.
The second chargesheet stems from Case FIR No. 12/2025 (U/S 420, 120-B IPC) involving a father-son duo accused of running an illegal immigration scam.
The accused, identified as Vinod Kumar and his son Vishal Kumar (residents of Village Pandorian, Jammu), allegedly collected large sums of money from victims by promising them lucrative jobs in Dubai. The SCW investigation proved that the duo lacked a valid Immigration Consultant License and violated the Emigration Act. Through oral and documentary evidence, the Crime Branch confirmed that the victims were cheated under the false pretext of arranging work visas. Insp. Kali Charan, the lead investigator, presented the chargesheet before the Court of Electricity Magistrate, Jammu.
