Anantnag Police have arrested three habitual fraudsters involved in an organised cheating racket that spanned across Jammu and Kashmir. The trio, operating under various fake business fronts such as real estate, fruit trade, and wild garlic (Jangli Lahsun) trade, allegedly duped numerous individuals with false promises of high returns and used criminal intimidation to silence victims.
The accused have been identified as Tasaduq Hussain Dar, son of Abdul Gani Dar from Sadoora Anantnag; Mohd Iqbal Wani, son of Mohd Sikander Wani from Bumdoora Kokernag; and Mujeeb Ahmad Koka, son of Gh Mohiuddin Koka from Shankerpora, Dooru.
According to the police, the trio defrauded a victim from Kishtwar of Rs55 lakh in a sham wild garlic business deal. An FIR No. 126/2025 has been registered at Police Station Anantnag under Sections 318(4), 351(2), and 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The case is being probed as a part of organised financial crime, with authorities trying to trace other victims and associates of the accused.
Anantnag Police urge anyone defrauded by these individuals or facing similar scams to report at the Police Station Anantnag.
This arrest is part of ongoing efforts by the Anantnag Police to dismantle organised criminal syndicates and bring offenders to justice.
