Every day cyber thugs are making people their victims in different ways. In Jehanabad, Bihar, a retired doctor was defrauded of Rs 27 lakh 30 thousand by pretending to be an accused in the Delhi blasts. Cyber thugs, posing as officers of Mumbai Crime Branch and ATS, digitally arrested Dr. Arun Kumar and defrauded him of Rs 27 lakh 30 thousand in three days. The incident took place in East Gandhi Maidan locality of Nagar police station area.
Dr. Arun Kumar, resident of East Gandhi Maidan, received a call from an unknown number on his mobile. When the wife picked up the phone, the caller said that she needed to have an important talk with Dr. Arun. After this, when the doctor talked, the person in front introduced himself as an officer of Mumbai ATS branch. Said that an account has been opened in his name in Canara Bank of Jammu and Kashmir, in which a transaction of Rs 3.5 crore has taken place in the purchase and sale of RDX during the Delhi blasts. The doctor got scared after hearing this.
‘…then will be arrested’
The thugs warned that if they did not cooperate they would be immediately arrested. After this the doctor was made to talk to an alleged DCP. He proved himself to be a police officer on the call. Said that the doctor’s name has been linked to the Delhi bomb blast case. It was said that to prevent arrest, anticipatory bail would have to be taken. For this, first Rs 3 lakh will have to be deposited towards court expenses.
The fraud took place between 25 and 28 November
The doctor was told that until the case is cleared, he will not talk to anyone, will not go out and will remain in touch all the time. The thugs called it digital arrest. During this time the doctors were scared. Fearing arrest, he made big transactions through RTGS from his account thrice between 25 and 28 November. First time 2 lakh 30 thousand, second time 22 lakh and finally 3 lakh were sent. When the swindlers again asked for Rs 3 lakh more, the doctor had no money left.
When the doctor called a relative, it was revealed that he had become a victim of cyber fraud. Immediately lodged a complaint on Cyber Cell’s toll free number 1930. Reached the cyber police station and gave a written application. The disappointed doctor has refused to talk to the media. Jehanabad’s Cyber DSP Krishna Gopal has appealed to the people to immediately inform on 1930 if they receive a call from any government department, police, crime branch or court, who are claiming to be from any government department, or who are creating threatening pressure. It also said that do not send money to unknown accounts under any circumstances.
