Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch on Wednesday filed a charge sheet against a married couple from Uttar Pradesh for allegedly duping a businessman in Udhampur district of Rs 3.25 lakh on the pretext of supplying food products, an official said.
The Economic Offences wing of Crime Branch, Jammu, produced a 224-page chargesheet in a local court here against Munish Verma and Babita of Varanasi involving charges of criminal conspiracy and cheating in a case registered earlier this year, a spokesman of the agency said.
The case stems itS origin from a written complaint lodged by Sunny Dogra, son of Dwarka Nath, resident of H. No. 160/6 Nanak Nagar Jammu, sales representative of M/s Sai Agro Food industry, alleging therein that complainant – M/s Mahajan Agency trading firm deals in purchase and sale of FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) products including Namkeens, Snacks, fryums etc. in Udhampur for more than 30 years. In 2020 Mr. Sunny Dogra who is the sales representative of M/s Sai Agro Food industry – a sole proprietorship firm registered in Varanasi in the name of accused Babita but operated and managed jointly by Babita and her husband Munish Verma, lured M/S Mahajan Agency on the pretext of placing an order of 500 cases/units of the product and cheated it of an amount of more than Rs. 3, 25,000. Thus Munish and Babita jointly hatched this fraudulent scheme to lure innocent traders/Businessmen like complainant into placing orders for the products and extracting money.
A probe substantiated the allegations and revealed that the accused cheated the complainant, M/s Mahajan Agency, with criminal intention, the spokesman said.
