The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch registered a case against Kumail Ansari and Yetsen Kumar, following a joint complaint alleging cheating and criminal conspiracy, the spokesperson said.

The case came to light after the fall of PDP-BJP government in June 2018.

Heavy rains in the Badder village of Mahore triggered the landslide. A rescue operation is underway to trace the missing family, they said.

“Preliminary probe has substantiated the allegations of cheating. A case has been registered under sections 420 and 120-B IPC for offences related to fraud and criminal conspiracy,” an official spokesperson said.

The Army said alert troops spotted suspicious activity and challenged the intruders, which resulted in terrorists opening indiscriminate fire.
