Mumbai – A female lawyer working in Vasai has suffered a cheating of Rs 50 lakh through cyber fraud in the name of digital arrest. A thug took a fake CBI officer and took Rs 50 lakh from a female lawyer in eight days and claimed to be a money laundering case against her and claimed to arrest her in a digital manner.
The 52 -year -old complainant went to the female lawyer. On March 25, a phone came. The caller called himself a CBI officer. Hearing the officer, the ground slipped under the feet of the woman lawyer. Your Aadhaar card has been misused and mobile phone has been taken and porn messages have been sent from that mobile phone. He was also told that an account has been opened in HDFC Bank, Delhi in your name and money related to money laundering and other crimes has been deposited in that account. The caller made a video call and pretended that he was calling from the CBI office.
The complainant got caught in the trap of this cyber thug. To avoid action in this case, about Rs 50.38 lakh was recovered from 25 March to 2 April. He sent this amount to various accounts through RTGS. He later suspected and realized that he was being cheated. So he immediately went to Vasai police station and lodged a complaint.
Based on the complaint of the female lawyer complainant, a case has been registered against four unidentified mobile phone holders at Vasai Police Station under Section 318 (4), 3 (5) of the Indian Penal Code.
