A case of fraud in the name of ED and Mumbai Crime Branch has come to light in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, which has shocked people. The thugs made a woman a victim and cheated her of more than Rs 7.5 crore. The surprising thing is that this fraud did not last for a day or two but lasted for three months. Along with her lifetime earnings, the woman took a loan and gave the money to the thugs.
The first chapter of the script of this fraud is written in October 2023, when a woman resident of Pilani working in a private institution gets a call. The caller says that another number is being used from the woman's Aadhar card. Illegal advertisements and harassing messages are being sent from that number. The caller tells the woman that Mumbai Police will take action against her under IPC sections.
After this the woman gets another call. The caller introduces himself as Mumbai Police Crime Branch. Then a person calling himself SI of Mumbai Police asked for an online meeting through Skype. Also said that your problems have increased because in a money laundering case, a transaction worth Rs 20 lakh has been involved and the matter has reached the ED.
By threatening her in different ways, the thugs got the woman to deposit Rs 7 crore 67 lakh in her account from October 2023 to January 31, 2024. The scared woman continued to deposit money. Not only this, he became so afraid of his arrest that he not only gave away his life's earnings to the thugs, but also took a loan from banks and gave Rs 80 lakh to the thugs.
The thugs kept misleading him by saying that the money laundering case would be resolved in the Supreme Court and the money would be returned after digital verification. The last date given for this was 12th February but there was no contact with the accused till 15th February. After this the woman narrated her ordeal to her friends. Then lodged FIR.
Jhunjhunu cyber station in-charge DSP Hariram Soni says that the matter is being investigated. In this case, an FIR has been registered against Mumbai residents Sandeep Rao and Akash Kulhari and one other person. After registering the FIR, the woman is neither talking to anyone nor coming forward.
