Details of the Fraudulent Scheme

The case at hand, FIR No. 60/2020 U/S 420 IPC, was registered at Police Station Thathri following a complaint by Sanjay Kumar, a wholesale supplier from Drabshalla District Kishtwar. The complainant reported receiving a call from a person claiming to be Ajay Nagesh Joushi, allegedly working with indices sucrose Ltd. in Hoshi Pura, Punjab. The fraudster deceived the complainant into believing that he would supply sugar, resulting in the complainant demanding 10 tons of sugar for his Thathri store.

As part of the fraudulent scheme, the fraudster sent a bill for Rs. 3,25000/= along with an account number (519902010877960) and requested the complainant to make the payment. The complainant transferred the requested amount to the given account. Later, the fraudster contacted the complainant again, claiming that the vehicle carrying the sugar had broken down near Udhampur. The complainant was asked to send an additional Rs. 5000/= to the vehicle driver, Raju, to facilitate the delivery. However, the complainant grew suspicious and requested the fraudster to send Rs. 5000/= to his account first. The fraudster refused, revealing the fraudulent nature of the transaction.
