Gandhinagar woman doctor duped of Rs 19cr in ‘digital arrest' scam

Ahmedabad: A woman doctor from Gandhinagar fell prey to an elaborate 'digital arrest' scam in which fraudsters extorted Rs 19.25 crore from her over three months, from March 15 to June 25. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Acting on the complaint, the cybercrime cell of CID (crime) arrested Lalji Jayantibhai Baldaniya, 30, a resident Valthan in Surat. According to cops, Rs 1 crore was deposited in his account from the cheated amount. According to police, Baldaniya offered his company's account, 'Murlidhar Manufacturing', to cybercrime gangs in return for commission. The woman's complaint, registered on July 16, led CID to trace the money flow across 35 different bank accounts, eventually identifying Baldaniya. The complainant stated she was first contacted on March 15 by a person claiming to be Jyoti Vishwanath from the department of telecommunications. Over the next few days, she was added to WhatsApp and Skype calls by others who introduced themselves as a police sub-inspector, public prosecutors, and a notary officer. They alleged her mobile number was being used for sending "standing offensive SMS" and that a money-laundering case was registered against her. "The accused generated and sent fake notices from the Directorate of Enforcement and claimed she was under probe for FEMA and PMLA violations," said an official from the cybercrime cell. "They mentally pressured her, saying she could be arrested unless she cooperated fully and kept the case secret." She was then asked to provide full details of her movable and immovable assets. They instructed her to stay under constant WhatsApp video surveillance and told her that plainclothes officers were keeping physical watch over her. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Following their instructions, she broke her fixed deposits, sold her jewellery, pledged gold kept in lockers, and even sold a property. She transferred Rs 19.24 crore in total to various accounts, believing the money was being held temporarily by the govt. To convince her further, the accused sent fake acknowledgment letters with stamps and govt letterheads titled "Financial Supervisory Freezing Certificate." No money was ever returned. "We are coordinating with national agencies and suspect the gang may have links to a foreign country," added a CID officer. "Four teams are working to trace financial trails, technical networks, sim cards, and field-level operations," he added.

‘Dog Babu' issued residence certificate in Bihar's SIR process, DM orders probe

Amid the confusion among people over the special intensive revision (SIR) exercise of electoral rolls in Bihar that got over on July 25, a canine named 'Dog Babu' was issued a residence certificate in Masaurhi area of Patna district from the State RTPS (Right to Public Service) portal. The residence certificate was required by the Election Commission (EC) among 11 certificates as proof for inclusion in the electoral rolls during SIR of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar. State assembly polls in Bihar are due in October-November later this year. Later, Patna District Magistrate Thiyagarajan S.M. said the certificate has been cancelled and ordered a probe into it with a report sought within 24 hours. Assuring this, he said action will be taken against the employees and officials found guilty. 'The matter is very serious and some mischievous elements have made such an attempt. The certificate was issued on July 24 at 3.56 p.m. and it was immediately cancelled within two minutes at 3:58 pm,' the DM said while speaking to the media on Monday. The Masaurhi Sub-Divisional Magistrate has submitted his report in which it was found that the application for the 'residential certificate was submitted with Aadhar card of a Delhi-based woman and action will be taken against all guilty officials and employees'. Golden retriever The residence certificate (No: BRCCO / 2025/ 15933581) issued in the name of 'Dog Babu' has the photograph of a golden retriever, his father's name is mentioned as 'Kuta babu' and mother's name as 'Kutiya Devi' and he is listed as a permanent resident of 'Mohalla: Kaulichak, Ward No: 15, Post Office: Masaurhi, Pin Code: 804452, Police Station: Masaurhi, Block: Masaurhi, Division: Masaurhi, District: Patna, State: Bihar'. The certificate was issued on July 24, a day before the SIR exercise of electoral rolls was over. The certificate was issued from the State RTPS (Right to Public Service) portal, which is an online platform established by the Bihar government to provide various public services to its citizens. It is part of the e-District mission mode project under the National e-Governance Plan. The portal enables citizens to apply for and access essential services like caste, income and residence certificates online, streamlining the process and ensuring timely delivery. The issued certificate bears digital signature of Revenue Officer Murari Chauhan. When the residence certificate issued in the name of 'Dog Babu' went viral on social media on Monday with several cryptic comments following it, the Patna district administration in a social media post said that an FIR has been registered against the applicant, the computer operator and the officer who issued the certificate. Earlier, social activist and Swaraj India member Yogendra Yadav took a dig at the residence certificate issued in the name of a dog in Patna in a social media post in which he said: 'Look at this through your own eyes that a dog gets his residential certificate done in Bihar on July 24th and this is the same certificate considered by Election Commission for SIR of electoral rolls in the state while Aadhar and Ration cards are being called fake'.
