Previous Property Scam Leads to New EOW Action Against Couple in Jammu

The Economic Offences Wing of the Jammu crime branch has recently filed a charge sheet against a married couple, Piyari Lal Kaul and Nirmala Kaul, over alleged property fraud worth ₹3.55 crore. The duo is accused of falsifying ownership documents for a residential plot and house situated in a military colony in Jammu.

This case follows an earlier investigation by the same wing into a separate fraud involving Gulam Hasan Dar, underscoring a pattern of economic crimes targeting vulnerable citizens with promises of government‑linked benefits.

Authorities allege that the Kauls manipulated paperwork to present themselves as legitimate owners, thereby deceiving buyers and lenders. The charge sheet cites relevant sections of the IPC and CRPC, laying the groundwork for prosecution.

The EOW’s senior superintendent of police has called on the public to conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with individuals claiming official connections and to report any irregularities to the wing promptly.
