In a major crackdown on organised financial crime, District Police Anantnag arrested three habitual fraudsters involved in a multi-layered cheating and intimidation racket. The accused have been identified as Tasaduq Hussain Dar (alias Haji Tasaduq) from Sadoora Anantnag, Mohd Iqbal Wani (alias Iqbal Bumdori) from Bumdoora Kokernag, and Mujeeb Ahmad Koka from Shankerpora, Dooru.
The trio allegedly ran various fake business ventures, including real estate, fruit trade, and wild garlic (Jangli Lahsun) deals, duping many people across the district and Union Territory. Victims were lured with false promises of high returns and later threatened when they demanded repayment.
The Anantnag Police registered FIR No. 126/2025 under Sections 318(4), 351(2), and 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) following a complaint by a Kishtwar resident who was cheated of Rs55 lakh in a fake wild garlic business transaction.
The case is being investigated as part of organised financial crime efforts, and police are working to identify other victims and possible associates.
The Anantnag Police urge anyone defrauded by these individuals to report at Police Station Anantnag. This arrest is part of the police’s ongoing mission to dismantle criminal syndicates and bring fraudsters to justice.
