Two Booked for Cheating, Criminal Conspiracy in Srinagar
Two people, Kumail Ansari and Yetsen Kumar, have been accused of tricking people in Srinagar.
They pretended to have influence and promised to get people contracts for projects.
They told people to give them money.
However, these contracts never happened.
This means they lied to the people and took their money.
The Crime Branch is now looking into what happened and investigating the case further.
Crime Branch Kashmir booked two individuals for cheating.
Accused allegedly promised contracts in NHPC and the defense sector.
Victims were induced to pay money based on fraudulent claims.
