Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The MBBS student, who was caught from Jodhpur in connection with a ‘Digital Arrest’ case a couple of days ago, revealed that he was in contact with a Chinese national through the social media platform and had transferred Rs 8 lakh to him.
DCP (crime) Rajesh Trhipathi informed media persons that a software engineer was duped of Rs 1.35 lakh by the conmen, who posed themselves as officers from an international courier service and the officer of Delhi police a few days ago.
The accused had held him digitally arrested on the video call and had threatened that his Aadhaar card was misused and his parcel contained MD drugs.
When the software engineer denied sending the parcel, the accused threatened him of implicating in a false case and held him digitally arrested on the pretext of investigation. They had taken Rs 1.35 lakh from him. When the complainant’s friend came to know about the same, he informed additional DCP Rajesh Dandotiya, who reached his place and rescued him. In this case, the accused named Vikram Vishnoi from Jodhpur was arrested a couple of days ago.
During questioning, Vishnoi informed the police that he completed his school education from Kota. Presently, he is a third year MBBS student in a government medical college in Alibag in Maharashtra. He allegedly informed the police that he met a Chinese Citizen (TLX) through a group with the name XXXX-TLXIMPS.
He later started working for a Chinese citizen, who lured him to give a good commission. The Chinese citizen used to share screen shots of the bank accounts of the members of the group.
After that, the accused used to transfer the money, which was received in any bank account, to the Binance account of crypto currency, then through the Chinese QR code, he used to transfer the same to the crypto wallet account of the Chinese person named TLX.
The accused has admitted to getting a good commission for doing the same. So far, the accused has transferred Rs 8 lakh to the Chinese citizen. The investigation is on and the information is being taken from the social media platform and crypto currency office to gather information about the Chinese national.
