Lawyer made 'digital arrest' for 7 hours, cheated of Rs 16 lakh

Digital arrest cases are not showing any signs of stopping in Madhya Pradesh. The latest case has come to light from Gwalior. Here a lawyer has been made a victim by thugs. The criminals kept him under digital arrest for 7 hours and defrauded him of Rs 16 lakh. The defrauded amount has reached some accounts in Odisha and Rajasthan. On this basis and on the complaint of the lawyer, the police has now started searching for the miscreants. Police say that the matter is being investigated.

In fact, in October last month, Jagmohan Srivastava, a lawyer by profession, was called by cyber thugs who claimed to be an employee of a courier company and said that a suspicious parcel had been booked for Beijing, China through his Aadhaar card, which was caught by the Customs Department. Is. 400 grams of MDMA drugs and more than a dozen credit debit cards have also been seized in the parcel.

Called by posing as a CBI officer

Advocate Jagmohan told the alleged courier employee Rahul Sharma that he had not booked any parcel. Then the alleged Rahul Sharma said that he should complain about it immediately. After this, the cyber thugs first posed as Crime Branch and then CBI officers and called them and told that till now about 50 people have been arrested in this case.

The recovered credit card was also named in the name of the lawyer. After this, cyber thugs kept lawyer Jagmohan Srivastava under digital arrest from noon to night and made him open a new account and transferred Rs 16 lakh to various accounts in Orissa and Rajasthan. After this the lawyer called his friend. Then the friend told that people often get such calls.

Police said this in the matter

When information about the case was taken, it was found that the lawyer had been cheated. The lawyer was so scared of the thugs that he could not tell anyone about his digital arrest. Superintendent of Police Dharamveer Singh says that criminals are being searched in this case on the basis of the amount transferred. Soon he will be arrested and the money will be recovered.
