Called himself Mumbai cyber crime officer
Based on the report of the retired employee, the police have registered a case and started investigation.

We hear digital arrest cases every day, but in very few cases the police are able to reach the accused because the accused make people their victims by making calls through internet calling or other VPNs or by making WhatsApp calls. After committing the crime he switches off the number. Therefore he escapes police arrest. However, the police is continuously searching for their whereabouts.
