| Inter-State fraudster charged in Rs 28 lakh fraud case | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Oct 6: In a significant development, the Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch in Jammu has filed a preliminary charge sheet against Upendra Singh Rudradeo, a resident of Bihar, in a case involving a fraud of Rs. 28 lakhs. The accused, posing as the Head of the Indian Cooperative Mission (ICOM), lured the complainant, Puran Chand, into investing in various projects related to the mission.
The case originated from a complaint lodged by Puran Chand, a resident of Jammu’s Village Gazipur Kulian. He alleged that Upendra Singh Rudradeo, in collaboration with a close friend named Rakesh Ranjan, introduced himself as the National Head of the organization committee of the Indian Cooperative Mission.
The accused presented a fabricated project file of the ICOM to gain the complainant’s trust and convinced him to collaborate on various projects. Subsequently, the accused fraudulently took an amount of Rs. 28 lakhs from the complainant in January 2017.
Upon receiving the complaint, Crime Branch Jammu initiated a preliminary verification in accordance with established procedures. As the allegations were found to be prima facie substantiated, a formal case was registered against the accused under relevant sections of the law.
Despite the accused evading arrest for four years, a special team of Crime Branch Jammu successfully apprehended him in Delhi.
The accused was brought to Jammu and presented before a court of law, where police remand was sought to further investigate the case. Subsequent investigations included the seizure of relevant records, recording statements of witnesses under sections 161 and 164 of the Cr.PC, collecting scientific and circumstantial evidence, and establishing the accused’s involvement in the offenses.
Furthermore, it was discovered during the investigation that the accused was wanted in more than seven FIRs related to cheating and fraud in Rajasthan. After the filing of the charge sheet, custody of the accused was transferred to the Ajmer Police, Rajasthan, to face charges in a separate case (FIR No. 4/2022). Efforts to recover the defrauded amount are underway, with the freeze of the accused’s bank account containing Rs. 18.70 lakhs. The case remains under active investigation for a comprehensive probe into the matter. |
