Superintendent of Police Bhiwadi Jyeshtha Maitreyi has been successful in busting an online share trading racket running through fake investment app.
The Bhiwadi cyber crime police arrested two accused and recovered more than Rs 9 lakh in cash, 100 gms of gold jewellery and a car from them.
Apart from that, the police also seized 20 mobiles, 54 SIM cards, 10 ATM cards, two note counting machines, a tablet and a WiFi router.
The police said that financial transactions of more than Rs 26 crore have been made in the bank accounts of the accused.
Bhiwadi SP Bhiwadi Jyeshtha Maitreyi said the matter came to light on April 26.
“Sanjeev, a resident of UIT Colony in Bhiwadi, filed a complaint at the Cyber Crime Police Station. He said that on March 1, he received a WhatsApp message from an investment app called Dhani TRD. There was mention of an eminent person Arjun Ramesh Mehta in the message.
The accused lured Sanjeev with a profit of 10 per cent and was added to a WhatsApp group that had more than 100 numbers.
There was constant talk of profit in the group, which increased Sanjeev's confidence. After this, a fake app called Dhani TRD was installed in Sanjeev's mobile.
In the beginning, the accused asked Sanjeev to investment little amount and huge profit was shown in his account. This grew Sanjeev's confidence and he invested Rs 21 lakh. Later, he realised that he was a victim of fraud.
How Police caught the culprits?
During investigation police found that the Dhani TRD app was completely fake without any verified credentials.
The police investigated suspicious bank accounts and zeroed down to one account , which was in the name of Vc Construction (OPC Pvt Ltd, Jaipur), whose alleged director was Vikas Saini.
The investigation revealed that the firm had 10 accounts operating in various banks, which had transactions of about Rs 26 crore in the last six months.
In further investigation, the police found that fake Aadhaar card and other documents were used in the name of Vikas Saini. In fact, the operator of this firm was Imran Ali, a resident of Chaund Colony, Vijay Nagar, Beawar.
The cyber crime team with technical assistance arrested Imran Ali and his partner Imran Khan, a resident of ward number 35, Hanumangarh, from Jaipur. Both were brought to Bhiwadi and were taken on six-day police remand, where several important revelations were made during interrogation.
Imran Ali has been arrested earlier also in Delhi in a digital arrest case of Rs 50 lakh. Both the accused are vicious criminals who used to commit frauds using fake Aadhaar cards and documents.
