Honey trap gang busted in Handwara

SRINAGAR: Police in Handwara have made significant progress in breaking up a cheater's gang that was setting up a honey trap to prey on gullible people in North and Central Kashmir. Operating in Baramulla, Bandipora, Handwara, Ganderbal, and Srinagar, the accused took advantage of unsuspecting people by promoting phoney inverter schemes, arranging fraudulent weddings, and making false promises of government jobs. According to a police officer, the offenders used a variety of deception techniques to trick their victims into marrying them. They preyed on the weaker members of society in particular, gathering large sums of money by acting as doctors, engineers, and government workers.Among the dishonest practices were making false marriage proposals, promising government positions, and running a fake inverter scheme.In the latter case, the defendants tricked people into paying an advance of Rs. 4200 for inverters that they said the government would supply by posing as engineers from the Power Development government," the source stated. Handwara police responded quickly to the matter, filing Case FIR No. 01/2024 Kralgund Police Station. The investigation is still in its early phases, and more arrests are expected as the authorities actively attempt to take down the entire network. The law enforcement's determination to protect the public from such dishonest tactics is demonstrated by the crackdown on these fraudulent enterprises.
