Srinagar- Police on Monday arrested six people for running a honey-trap and job-scam network across multiple places in north and central Kashmir.
A police spokesperson in a statement said, “In a major breakthrough, Handwara police have dismantled a cheaters gang orchestrating a honey trap scheme, preying on unsuspecting individuals across North and Central Kashmir.”
The accused, he said, operated in areas such as Baramulla, Bandipora, Handwara, Ganderbal, and Srinagar and exploited innocent people by deceitfully promising government jobs, arranging fraudulent marriages, and offering fake inverter schemes.
“The accused, masquerading as Engineers from the Power Development Department, duped individuals into paying an advance of 4200 Rupees for inverters purportedly provided by the department”, the spokesperson added.
