Cyber ​​Fraud in Ujjain
It seems that cyber criminals have set their sights on the Malwa region these days. Two days ago a retired Indore officer was cyber-arrested and cheated of lakhs of rupees, after which such a case has again come to light on Friday. A retired officer in Ujjain was called by some people pretending to be a CBI officer and threatened that an account has been opened in Mumbai’s HDFC Bank using his Aadhaar card. Because of which transactions worth crores of rupees have taken place. When the cyber thugs sensed that the retired officer was nervous and ready to accept what they were saying, they defrauded the officer of lakhs of rupees by asking him to deposit Rs 50 lakh 71000 in his account.
The incident took place with 65-year-old Rakesh Kumar Jain, a retired manager of SBI and his wife, living in Chhaya Nagar near Sethinagar. The elderly couple was digitally arrested two days ago by cybercriminals and engaged in continuous conversation with them for two days. Rakesh Kumar was severely threatened by the accused. In these two days, the cybercriminal transferred Rs 50 lakh 71,000 from the elderly couple’s account to his own account at Bandhan Bank. The entire amount was withdrawn within a day after the money was deposited in the account. Before the victims realized anything, they had lost 50 lakh 71000 rupees.
When he got information from the bank that Rs 50 lakh 71000 was withdrawn from his account, he immediately went to the police with a complaint. The police investigated the matter and took complete information from the couple. Jain said that the criminals trapped him in their conversations for two days. The accused, pretending to be CBI officers, threatened them with various things and each time forced them to deposit the amount in their Bandhan Bank account.
Jain did not receive a call on the third day and when he got news from the bank that Rs 50 lakh 71000 had been withdrawn from his account, he reached the bank disappointed. After this he came to know about the fraud. After this a complaint was registered in Madhavnagar Police Station. In the morning, SP Pradeep Sharma told the media that after receiving the complaint, the matter was investigated and when the bank officials were asked to which account such a huge amount was transferred, the name of Bandhan Bank came up. After receiving the amount, the entire amount was withdrawn within a single day. The matter has now been handed over to the Cyber ​​Cell.
