JAMMU, Nov 17: The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch Jammu has presented a 1043 pages chargesheet against the proprietors of KK Motors in the court of law for their alleged involvement in cheating an individual of Rs 23.05 lakh.
A Crime Branch (CB) spokesperson said that Kulbir Singh of Bhau, RS Pura, Jammu, Narotam Singh of Marjali Kangril, Jammu, and Kulranjan Sharma of Rani Tallab, Digiana, Jammu-proprietors of KK Motoros-were chargesheeted for hatching a criminal conspiracy and cheating one Baldeep Kour wife of Karamjeet Singh of Village Sunder Pura, Tehsil RS Pura, by inducing the latter to facilitate her in the purchase of a JCB after getting her loan sanctioned from the bank.
The CB spokesperson said that the case stems its origin from a written complaint lodged by Baldeep Kour wherein she alleged that she had to buy a JCB in the year 2017, for which she required Rs 23 lakh after confirming it (JCB) from the dealer.
Quoting the complaint, the CB spokesperson said that the woman applied for a loan of Rs 15 lakh in J&K Bank’s Kullian Branch in RS Pura. To avail the loan, the woman had to pay margin money of Rs 8.5 lakh to the dealer and the remaining loan amount was to be transferred by the J&K Bank in the account of the JCB dealership and thereafter the dealership had to deliver the JCB to the complainant.
Accordingly, after the complainant paid the margin money of Rs 8.5 lakh to the three proprietors of KK Motors, RS Pura, she was informed that the bank will transfer the amount in the account of the firm and the complainant will get the delivery of the JCB soon.
But after approaching the dealership multiple times, the CB spokesperson said that one of the dealers, Kulbir Singh, refused to give the delivery of the JCB to the complainant and rather told her that J&K Bank has not sanctioned or transferred any amount in the account of the firm for the JCB in spite of the fact that EMI instalments had started deducting from the account of the husband of the complainant, thereby defrauding the complainant of her hard-earned money.
On receipt of the complaint, a preliminary verification was initiated by the Crime Branch and during probe, the allegations were prima-facie substantiated, leading to registration of instant case FIR number 39/2022 under sections 420,465,468,471,120-B of the RPC registered at Police Station Crime Branch, Jammu against the trio.
During the course of investigation, Crime Branch seized the relevant record, recorded the statements of the witnesses, and gathered scientific, circumstantial and other material evidence and found that the allegations were true.
Accordingly, a chargesheet was produced in the court of law against the proprietors of the KK Motors for judicial determination.
