Posing as CBI officers, five miscreants defrauded a businessman from Ujjain of Rs 2 crore online. The police have arrested the accused in this case, but have not yet seized the looted money.
A robbery incident came to light in Ujjain. Here a gang from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh looted two crore rupees from a businessman. They trapped the businessman by pretending to be a CBI officer. The businessman was cheated by giving fear of being named in a CBI case.
In this incident that happened about 15 days ago, the police conducted an investigation and caught five criminals of the gang. However, they have not yet found the looted money. Police are investigating for this. The matter was disclosed by SP Pradeep Sharma on Tuesday evening.
In fact, on April 8, a businessman in the city received calls from different mobile phones. Some people spoke on the phone, calling themselves agents of CBI and said that the money of the fraud committed by Jet Airways owner Naresh Goyal has come into his bank account, which CBI is investigating after registering the case. Out of fear, the businessman first deposited Rs 1.5 crore in an account of Punjab National Bank branch of Nalanda in Bihar and after two days, after two days, on demand, Rs 50 lakh was deposited as RTGS.
To convince the businessman, the robbers sent him the arrest order on letters from various departments of the Government of India, agreement of consent to confidential settlement and signed letters of a CBI officer on WhatsApp. But after two days, after realizing that he was cheated, he approached SP Pradeep Sharma. When they got the investigation done, the gang's actions came to light.
In this case, police arrested Mukesh Kumar of Nalanda Bihar, Amarendra Kumar (Bahubali) of village Barapur, Shahnawaz Alam of village Kinjar, Anil Yadav of Mainpuri (UP) and Sharad Pandey and seized 10 mobiles from them. But, the defrauded amount was not found.
SP Sharma told that Mukesh had a loan of about Rs 3.50 lakh. His friend Amarendra told him how to earn up to Rs 50 thousand every month along with repaying the loan. As per the plan, Mukesh formed a firm in the name of Mukesh Enterprises and opened an account in Punjab National Bank branch, Nalanda and also took a GST number.
