Srinagar, July 25: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Kashmir, of the Crime Branch, Jammu and Kashmir, has filed a chargesheet against a North Kashmir resident for allegedly duping a youth with the false promise of a high paying job in Cambodia and forcing him into online scam operations.
The chargesheet has been filed in FIR No. 19/2026 under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) before the Court of the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class against Mohd Yaseen Rather, son of Nisar Ahmad Rather, a resident of Kripalpora Payeen in Pattan.
According to the Crime Branch, the case was registered after a complaint alleged that the accused had offered the victim a Computer Operator job in Cambodia with a monthly salary of ₹90,000.
Trusting the offer, the complainant reportedly transferred several lakhs of rupees to the accused's bank account and spent additional money on visa processing, travel, and other related expenses.
During the investigation, officials found that after arriving in Cambodia, the complainant was allegedly forced to participate in online fraudulent activities instead of being provided the promised job.
The Economic Offences Wing said the investigation confirmed the allegations, following which the chargesheet was filed before the competent court for further legal proceedings.
