Jodhpur : A case of digital arrest has come to light from Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. Here the fraudster digitally arrested a software engineer for about 3 hours and also withdrew about 25 lakh rupees from his account. The accused introduced himself as the Director General of Mumbai Crime Branch. The victim has registered a case in Mahamandir police station of Jodhpur.
Jodhpur came from Bangalore
Software engineer Ankit Devda has given a report to the police and told that he had come from Bangalore to his home in Jodhpur on 19 August. During this time, he received a call around 10 am and the caller told him that he is the Director General of Mumbai Crime Branch and then told Ankit that a Fedex parcel is being sent from Mumbai to Iran in Ankit’s name. It contains several passports, laptops and about 350 grams of MDMA drugs.
Ankit got scared when he got a call on Rakshabandhan
At first Ankit told him that he had no information about this matter. But after this Ankit got a call again and the accused said that if he did not help them in the action, he would be arrested. Ankit got scared after getting continuous calls on Rakshabandhan day and he did not tell this to anyone at home. The accused who called took Ankit’s account and other information. After about three days he came to know that Rs 25 lakh was withdrawn from his account.
incident already happened
This is not the first such case in Rajasthan. Earlier in January, a professor in Jhunjhunu district was robbed of Rs 7.67 crore and many such incidents have taken place in other cases including the capital Jaipur. However, the accused carry out the entire crime through VPNs of other countries. In such a situation, the accused cannot be easily caught by the police. In this case, DGP UR Sahu says that whenever anyone receives such a call, do not share any of your information with them. Rather, immediately complain about it to your nearest police station or online portal.
