The gang trapped many people by promising to earn lakhs of rupees by liking and sharing Instagram videos.

Understand how gang works from two cases

Case 1: Cheated of one crore rupees on the pretext of liking

Deepak Sharma, a resident of Sikar, had given a report of fraud of Rs 1 crore in the cyber cell of SOG on May 2. He is CA in Jaipur. He had told that on April 1 he received a message – a chance to earn three to five thousand rupees daily sitting at home!

When he called the numbers given in the message, the person in front told that there would be work to follow Instagram accounts, like and share videos. In the beginning, he got money when he liked the videos.

When he got convinced, the thugs told him that you can earn more money by becoming an agent. After this, in the name of making an agent, Rs 1 crore was taken from him in different accounts.

Case 2: Indecent language talk with High Court judge

The thugs called on the mobile number of a judge of the Rajasthan High Court. The thugs told him that we are calling from SBI. He asked the judge for the credit card details. When the judge got suspicious, he asked the name and branch address of the caller.

He misspelled his name and address. When the judge refused to give the details, he started abusing. There was a heated argument between the two.

In this regard, the master of the court has filed a report in the cyber station of SOG. SOG is tracing whether this call was made from Chittorgarh or Jamtara.

money transfer from fake account

SOG’s investigation has revealed that the money used to cheat people through agents was deposited in fake accounts.

After opening the account, buying and selling are done on Telegram itself. The cheated money was transferred to these accounts only.

SOG has so far taken details of about 50 accounts in which money was transferred. SOG had received Rs 2.87 crore from one of the accounts.

When SOG reached the house of the accused after taking the details of the accounts, it came to know that these youths used to take money from home for expenses.

When the SOG team went to Sikar to investigate, the mother of a young man, Anand, said that he brings Rs 200 from home for daily expenses. The family members did not know anything about his forgery.

Hub of thugs made in Chittorgarh

When SOG started investigation after several cases of thugs came to the fore, it came to know that after Alwar and Mewat thugs have now made a new hideout in Chittorgarh in Rajasthan. This is where these fake call centers are being operated.

When SOG interrogated Anand Nehra, Abhishek Bajia, Sachin Khayaliya, Ravi Sahu, Sachinnama, Devilal Suthar, Harishankar Jat, who were caught in the investigation, three names including Gaurishankar, Toofan Singh from Chittorgarh came to the fore. All these three are operating the gang. At present all three are absconding. Special teams of SOG are looking for them.

Entire network learned from Nigerian gang only

SOG’s investigation revealed that earlier Nigerian gangs used to cheat like this, but now local gangs have also learned this game of cheating. When interrogated Harishankar Jat, who was arrested, he told that they used to follow the Nigerian gang. Through this, they learned the nuances of the Internet.

Harishankar Jat earlier used to bring soil from tractor-trolley. After joining the fake call center, he started earning lakhs of rupees. Harishankar Jat used to invest them in crypto currency through the Wazir X app when the money of fraud came.

Harishankar Jat was living a very normal life even after earning lakhs of rupees, so that no one would doubt him. Now after the capture of Gaurishankar, Toofan Singh, SOG will get a sequel.
