Cyber Crime in India: A sensational case of cheating a retired officer of Rs 54 lakh by threatening him with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Supreme Court has come to light in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Based on the victim’s complaint, the Cyber Cell team of Chhattisgarh Police has started searching for the accused after investigating the case.
The cunning criminals laid a trap to cheat retired officer Jai Singh Chandel. The fraudsters first called him a month ago from an unknown mobile number. After this, the caller talked about his involvement in porn activity. The caller said that the former officer had uploaded a porn video on the Internet. The cunning thug also sent a copy of a fake FIR to the retired officer.
Showed fear of ED investigation
After this, on the same evening, Jai Singh received a call from another unknown number on his mobile. The caller introduced himself as Vinayak Bawar, an officer of Mumbai Police. He said that 274 ATMs have been recovered from a person’s house, of which one ATM card is his. The fraud disconnected the call, saying that the matter would be cleared in the ED investigation.
This is how thugs stole money
Jai Singh Chandel got scared by these two phone calls and started thinking seriously about this matter. Meanwhile, on July 2, he was called and told that a case had been registered in the Supreme Court. Now, his bank transactions will be investigated. By showing fake ED and Supreme Court orders, the fraudsters got the retired officer to deposit Rs 14 lakh 30 thousand in their bank account. After this, another Rs 35 lakh was deposited in the name of the mutual fund investigation.
The phone was switched off after extorting money.
After this, the fraudsters demanded a security deposit of Rs 10 lakh, saying the investigation was complete. The retired officer said that he had only Rs 5 lakh. Under pressure, he deposited Rs 5 lakh in the fraudsters’ bank account. Then, the accused stopped picking up his phone. After this, the retired officer reached the police station, narrated his ordeal, and lodged a complaint against the fraudsters.
The police quickly swung into action, initiating a probe into the matter. They meticulously tracked the bank account where the retired officer had sent the money, hoping to identify the culprits behind this elaborate scam. Meanwhile, feeling humiliated and angry, the former officer began to gather evidence, including call logs and messages that could shed light on the fraudsters’ tactics.
