LUCKNOW, Sept. 13 -- A retired assistant regional manager (ARM) of the transport department was duped of Rs.14 lakh by cyber fraudsters who kept him under "digital arrest" and posed as police and CBI officials, threatening to send him to jail in a money-laundering case allegedly linked to the Pulwama terror incident. Inspector Alok Rao of the cyber police station said a case had been registered and the transactions were being examined. The victim, Baikunth Nath Mishra, a resident of Rajajipuram, told police that the fraud began on September 1 when he received a call from a man who identified himself as Suresh Mehrotra. The caller claimed that a mobile SIM had been issued in Mumbai using Mishra's Aadhaar details and that a Canara Bank account had been opened using the SIM. The account, he alleged, was being used for money laundering. Mishra was then given the number of a purported investigating officer, Sandeep Nagar, who contacted him over a video call while dressed in a police uniform, with a Maharashtra Police logo visible behind him, the complaint said. The purported officer allegedly told Mishra that Rs.2.50 crore had been transferred from Pakistan into his account and that he had received Rs.25 lakh as commission. The fraudsters also linked him to the Pulwama terror incident, claiming that his name had surfaced after the arrest of a terrorist. The callers claimed that the Supreme Court had already issued a chargesheet and arrest warrant against him. The fraudsters also sent him purported Supreme Court documents and an arrest warrant over WhatsApp and warned that informing anyone about the case would jeopardise his children's future, police said. Mishra encashed a fixed deposit before transferring Rs.9 lakh through RTGS to a bank account, and then allegedly withdrew Rs.5 lakh from a post-office monthly income scheme (MIS) in his name at the Rajajipuram post office. The following day, he transferred the amount to another bank account specified by the fraudsters. The callers then told him that they were going to submit their report and would contact him again after four hours. When no call came, Mishra tried contacting them and found that all the numbers had been switched off. He then realised that he had been duped and approached the police....
