SRINAGAR, July 20: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir has submitted a chargesheet against three individuals for their alleged involvement in encroaching upon 25 kanals of state land in Baramulla district, Jammu and Kashmir.
According to the EOW statement, the chargesheet was presented in the court of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Tangmarg, in connection with FIR No. 28/2018 u/Ss 420, 447-A & 120-B RPC of P/S Crime Branch Kashmir. The accused are suspected of illegally trespassing and encroaching upon state land in Dhobiwan, Kunzer, District Baramulla, and had placed signboards and stone blocks on the said land.
The complaint received by the Crime Branch Kashmir in 2018 led to the registration of the case, and subsequent investigations revealed that the accused, including Mohammad Najeeb Goni, Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, and Mohammad Ashraf Wani, had allegedly conspired to encroach upon the state land. They reportedly fenced the area and deceitfully converted/demarcated it into plots for potential private buyers.
Based on the evidence collected during the investigation, the accused individuals have been held criminally liable under Sections 420, 447-A & 120-B RPC. The charge report (challan) has now been submitted to the court for judicial determination.
