Srinagar, October 5: The Economic Offences Wing of Crime Branch Kashmir (CBK) on Sunday announced it has uncovered a major online supply fraud involving ₹46.90 lakh.
According to a CBK statement issued to GNS, the wing received a written complaint alleging that a Pune-based individual, posing as the proprietor of D.K. Enterprises, contacted the complainant with an offer to supply “Sifine Natural Nut”. Despite receiving an advance payment, the accused failed to deliver the consignment, leading to a financial loss of ₹46.90 lakh.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that the accused used deceptive means to place a fake supply order, misrepresenting D.K. Enterprises as an authorised supplier. The fraud induced the complainant to transfer the money, which was later found to be part of a well-planned scam.
The acts of the accused prima facie constitute offences under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act. A formal FIR has been registered at the Police Station Economic Offences Wing, CBK.
Investigations into the case are currently underway, the statement added.
