The victim has been identified as a resident of Chhota Udaipur district of Gujarat. He is studying MBBS from a private medical college in Gujarat.
During the investigation, the victim medico told the police that the cyber thugs from Bareilly added him to a Telegram group and lured him with fake promises of completing certain tasks. The task was to add some products and to take a screenshot and send it to them. On the completion of this task, the victim was promised to get some money, however, the victim also received a small amount. This task continued for a few days and one day suddenly the fraudsters lured the victim to invest Rs 80 thousand and promised to return Rs 1.20 lakh, as per the Amar Ujala news report.
Falling prey to the trap of cyber fraudsters, the medico sent them 80 thousand rupees. In this way, money was transferred several times. To enhance the credibility of their scam, the fraudsters suddenly demanded Rs 3 lakh and on hearing this demand, he realised that he was being cheated. On this, the victim immediately filed a report of cyber fraud in Baradari police station. Currently, the case is under investigation.
In a similar incident that occurred recently in Hyderabad, two persons were arrested by the cyber crime police for allegedly cheating a 74-year-old doctor of Rs 1.6 crore in a fake money laundering case.
