Navi Mumbai: Fraudsters Impersonate Delhi Police to Defraud Senior Citizen of Rs 37 Lakh

In Navi Mumbai, two fraudsters (Rajvir Singh and Vikas Rathod) cheated a senior citizen of Rs 37 lakh by posing as law enforcement and accusing him of human trafficking, money laundering, and organ trading. They sent fake summons and coerced payment to avoid supposed police action. The victim reported the fraud to the cyber cell, but no arrests have been made.

A senior citizen was cheated of Rs 37 lakh by two online fraudsters in Navi Mumbai, a police official said on Thursday.

He identified the two alleged accused as Rajvir Singh and Vikas Rathod.

As per the complainant, between March 13 and 19 this year, they contacted the septuagenarian victim claiming he was named in some serious offences involving human trafficking, money laundering and organ trading, the official said.

''They also sent fake summons to him purportedly from Delhi Crime Branch and forced him to pay Rs 37 lakh to stall police action. After the senior citizen realised he was duped, he approached the cyber cell,'' the official said.

No one has been arrested in the case and further probe is underway, the Navi Mumbai cyber cell official added.
