MBA student loses Rs 43 lakh as cyber criminals posing as CBI threaten jail for 50 cases, arrest of his father
A 23-year-old MBA student lost Rs 43 lakh to cyber criminals, who posed as CBI officers and threatened him with arrest claiming that his Aadhaar card had been flagged in 50 criminal cases. The cyber criminals also threatened to arrest his father if he told about the incident to anyone. The student, who is pursuing his Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from a Pune college, registered an FIR in the case at Baner police station on Sunday. According to police, a few weeks ago, when the complainant was at his hostel, he received a call from a man who identified himself as an officer of the Delhi CBI. The caller asked the complainant to connect with the 'senior officials of the CBI Delhi'. Subsequently, on a Skype call, a man posing as senior official Rahul Yadav of CBI Delhi, told the complainant that he could arrest him because as many as 50 criminal cases were registered against him pertaining to financial frauds and money laundering. When the complainant denied links with any such crimes, he was told his Aadhaar card was being misused. He was warned not to discuss the case with anyone and was told that he was being placed under digital arrest. Police said the complainant was asked to remain online on a video call for surveillance and was threatened that his father will be arrested, if he shared details of action against him with anyone. Police said the complainant was told to provide details of all the bank accounts, following which he shared the details of four accounts he had been accessing. He was then asked to transfer 99 per cent of the total bank balance collectively held in all his four accounts to 'government accounts' for financial audit. In total eight transactions, the victim was manipulated into transferring Rs 42.95 lakh to fraudulent mule accounts over a period of three days. The cyber criminals asked for more money from the victim and asked him to take loan for it. It was at this point that he realised that he had been cheated. He subsequently called the cyber crime helpline and the police. After a preliminary inquiry, an FIR was registered at Baner police station on Sunday.
