Ex-RBI staffer, 74, loses 5L before daughter gets him out of digi-arrest
Kolkata: A 74-year-old retired Reserve Bank of India (RBI) employee, Onkar Barat, in Baguiati was duped of Rs 5 lakh over five days by fraudsters posing as Mumbai Police officers in a 'digital arrest' scam. The victim was cheated by unknown callers, claiming that an FIR had been lodged against him in Mumbai for allegedly circulating obscene videos. Barat's family lodged a complaint at Baguiati Police Station (PS) only after his daughter intervened and convinced him that he was being defrauded. His daughter stopped him from taking a gold loan to pay the fraudsters further. Cops have started an investigation into the matter. According to the complaint filed on Thursday, the victim, a resident of Anupama Housing Complex on VIP Road, had received a call from a number claiming to be from the telecom department on Aug 8. "The caller warned him that his phone would be disconnected within two hours. He was then connected to a man identifying himself as Rahul Roy from the Data Protection Board of India, who claimed that an FIR was filed against Barat at Colaba Police Station in Mumbai for allegedly circulating porn videos and objectionable material through a mobile number registered in his name," said a senior officer of Bidhannagar Commissionerate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata | Gold Rates Today in Kolkata | Silver Rates Today in Kolkata Despite denying the allegations, the elderly man was told that he was under investigation for money laundering and links to banned organisations. The fraudsters sent him forged documents purportedly from the Supreme Court, Reserve Bank of India, Enforcement Directorate, and Mumbai Police, all naming him as an accused. They also conducted video calls through WhatsApp, displaying fake police IDs and impersonating senior officers. Frightened over the threats against his family, Barat transferred the amount on Aug 12 to an account of a nationalised bank. The account belongs to a company registered as Om Namah Shivya Fishers at Versova, Mumbai. The fraudsters then instructed him to arrange additional funds by taking a gold loan. The man visited the Teghoria branch of a nationalised bank on Aug 13. The frauds also pressed him to borrow from a private lender. but the delay in appraisal led the fraudsters to press him to approach a private lender. At this point, his daughter—who was in Manali—stepped in. Cops said the fraudsters had access to his personal documents. "We are coordinating with cybercrime units and the concerned bank to trace the beneficiaries and block further fraudulent transactions," the officer added.
