Retired officer Surindra Pal Singh, who lives in the Sainik Housing Society of the Sarojini Nagar police station, told police that he had received a call on August 20. The caller called himself CBI officer Alok Singh and said that a money laundering was registered against him and his father. Not only that, the accused also sent a photo of a false arrest order on WhatsApp. Panic in the family, increasing pressure from thugs, thugs also made this call up to 100 -year -old Hardv Singh and both threatened that if they did not cooperate, they would be arrested. This caused deep panic in the family. Surindra Pal Singh said that the thugs are constantly pushing and pushing not to talk to someone and to do all the transactions under his supervision. That was the reason that both of them remained spiritually in ‘digital imprisonment’. How can your crores of rupees extract from accounts? The thugs inquired about the bank accounts in the name of verification and investigation and transferred the money to various accounts between 21 and 26 August. £ 32 Lakh – Bank of Baroda, Bhavnagar £ 45 Lakh – Icici Bank, Pauda £ 52 Lakh – In the accounts of Jalgaon Fata, the thugs assured that the amount would be returned once the investigation was completed, but the money did not return after the time was over. Surindra Pal Singh realized the fraud when the rule of open fraud was not returned. He immediately complained to cyber aid number in 1930 and filed a fir at the Sarojini Nagar police station. Police action Sarojini Nagar Police Station in -rad Rajdev Ram Prajapati said the investigation was started by registering a case. Police are investigating bank accounts and are used to detect the location of thugs through transactions. Experts from cybercrime are constantly growing, says cyber thugs are now using new methods to capture people. This case of ‘digital arrest’ is a warning to people across the country. Often, the thugs cite themselves as government officials, bank employees or an officer of the maintenance agency and thus scare people. Awareness is the rescue police and cyber experts have called on the people to trust no unknown calls.

In such cases, call Cyber Helpline 1930 or report to the nearest police station. This case is a warning, not only to Lucknow, but also for the whole country how dangerous and evil cyber criminals have now become. Taking rupees of the elderly Father and Son is proof that vigilance and awareness are the greatest weapon to protect them from these crimes.
