Cheated a retired employee in July
Vijay Chaudhary told – In July 2024, Jaisingh Chandel (71), retired from Central Service, had lodged an FIR at Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) Range Cyber Police Station. He told that some people have cheated me online by saying that I am involved in a money laundering case. Those people cheated Rs 54 lakh 30 thousand. He said- We were taking action in this matter since July. In this, in the month of September, three accused were arrested and Rs 22 to 23 lakh were recovered. Among these accused, one was from Haryana and two were from Sri Ganganagar. When some amount reached an account in Alwar, we got technical input that two accused were in Alwar (Rajasthan). On this basis, these two youths have been arrested from Alwar. One accused is absconding.
The accounts and mobile numbers of both the boys were used.
Crime Branch Inspector Vijay Chaudhary said – The bank account of these boys has been used to shift the fraudulent amount. From this we have received an amount of Rs 8 to 9 lakh. The registered mobile number is of another youth, on which OTP came. These people work by making a racket. Vijay Chaudhary said- These people have a special pattern. Some people provide fake SIM and numbers. Some arrange fake accounts. Some people call. Some do the work of withdrawing money. The whole system works together like a racket. The fraud with retired employees of Chhattisgarh started from Alwar itself. Fraud calls were made from here. Then the accused started calling continuously by changing the location, so that the police could not reach them and kept getting misled.
Showed fear of money laundering and child pornography case
Vijay Chaudhary told – The accused accused Jai Singh Chandel of uploading porn videos from his mobile and sent a copy of the FIR on WhatsApp. Said to investigate this matter on behalf of Mumbai Police. He said- Your name has come up in money laundering and child pornography case. After this, another youth impersonated Mumbai Police officer Vinayak and started threatening him. The miscreants threatened that 274 ATM cards had been found from the house of a person. One of the cards is yours. ED investigation is also going on in this matter. Saying this he disconnected the call. Then on July 2 he called and said – The matter is under consideration in the Supreme Court, according to which the money deposited in your bank will be investigated. You deposit all the money in a single bank account. After this, Rs 14 lakh 30 were transferred by sending fake documents of ED and Supreme Court.
The next day on July 3, the miscreants called and asked to get the mutual fund checked and deposited Rs 35 lakh. Then on July 13 he called and said that the investigation of the money would be completed. Then asked to deposit Rs 10 lakh. Then the accused deposited Rs 5 lakh by giving pressure. All the accused together remained in contact with Jai Singh Chandel for 15 days and duped him. In this way the fraudsters transferred about Rs 54 lakh to different accounts. After this, when the victim became suspicious, he reached the police station and lodged a report.
