'A parcel in your name goes to China from which drugs have been found', threatens to make a video call in the name of Mumbai Police and CBI

By giving a false identity to a senior citizen of Vadodara city in the name of Mumbai Police and CBI, the cyber mafia threatened to make a digital arrest and arrest him from home, alleging that he was in collusion with the accused in the drug case and took Rs 20 lakh by allowing the accused to use his bank account. Following the threat, a scared retired bank employee was transferred to eight accounts with rs 90.90 lakh by transferring money, including bank balance and FD. A complaint has been lodged at cyber crime police station in this regard. Threatened to find drugs from the parcel A 62-year-old retired bank employee, a resident of Karelibagh area of Vadodara city, has lodged a complaint with the cyber crime station, saying, "I live with my family and live a retired life. On October 8, I received a call from an unknown number, i received this call and told me from the front that I am speaking from DHL courier and a parcel goes to China in your name, in which handkerchiefs, laptops, passports and drugs have been found, so I said that the parcel is not mine or I have not sent it. False identity of Mumbai Police and CBI officer I then got a call from another unknown number and the caller identified himself as Rajendra Pradhan speaking from The Mumbai Police. Then I got a voice call on WhatsApp from another number and the caller said I am Abhishek Pradhan from the CBI. He then made a video call to me on WhatsApp in which his camera was switched off and inquired about the parcel and told me that he had found his documents when he raided his house in the case of Naresh Goyal. "You opened your account in Canara Bank by taking Rs 20 lakh and allowed you to use your account and there have been transactions of Rs 2 crore in that bank account against which you have taken Rs 20 lakh from Naresh Goyal as 10 per cent commission. He threatened to arrest him and transferred the money. When I told him that I have no account in Canara Bank and I have never come to Mumbai, he said that you have to prove all this. For which you have to give all the financial information like your bank account information, FD, shares, etc., so that I gave all this information to them on WhatsApp. Then they told me that till this investigation continues, all the money lying in your account and your shares and whatever FD is there, all the financial amount will have to be given to us and if you do not give all these money to us, then you will be digitally arrested and the police will come to your house and arrest you. I was scared to hear this. A total of Rs 90.90 lakh was transferred online from my wife's bank account to eight different bank accounts given by them during the period from 11-10-2024 to 14-11-2024. Even after spending more than Rs 90.90 lakh, the gang tried to extort more money from them. On November 13, a woman named Ankita made a WhatsApp call and said that everything has been cleared and they will come to Vadodara after two days to return the money. Then on November 17, he got a call from another number stating that Ankita and Abhishek were coming to your house and they had met with an accident on the way. Only you knew that they were going to come to Vadodara so you were the one who caused this accident. So he threatened to file a case against you and demanded Rs 20 lakh. But senior citizens did not pay much money. After that, when I did not get my money back, I informed my brother Hiren Shah and he asked me to file a police complaint. Following the complaint, the cyber crime station police have launched further investigation.
