Bhopal, March 5 (NationPress) The police in Madhya Pradesh have unveiled a complex fraud scheme connected to an IP address from Cambodia in a case involving an Indore physician who was defrauded of Rs 3.8 crore.
The Crime Branch has determined that the woman who was in contact with the doctor had an IP address traced to Cambodia.
The investigative team is thoroughly examining this technical evidence, indicating that several individuals might be implicated.
In a statement to IANS, Rajesh Dandotiya, additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, Indore, noted that the police have made a significant advancement in this fraud investigation.
The technical evidence, notably the IP address, has indicated a connection to Cambodia.
The woman, who went by the name Aru Bhatt, engaged with the doctor using a fictitious profile, and it is believed she operates from outside the country.
The investigation is ongoing, with teams actively pursuing leads related to the suspects. They are also analyzing additional technical evidence and anticipate revealing further information shortly.
According to the senior police official, organized crimes like this typically involve a substantial number of perpetrators.
In January, an Indore-based doctor was approached on social media by a woman who introduced him to an online trading platform.
This social media acquaintance guided the doctor through the registration process, leading him to invest funds.
Initially, the doctor saw his investment reflected in his trading wallet and successfully withdrew money twice, which bolstered his confidence in the system.
However, when he sought to withdraw more funds subsequently, they were unavailable.
Following this, the doctor filed a complaint with the Crime Branch.
The investigation revealed that the fraud was orchestrated through links sent from Cambodia, resulting in a loss of Rs 3.08 crore for the doctor.
Additional DCP Rajesh Dandotiya noted that a woman claiming to be Aru Bhatt had engaged with the doctor, and suspicions persist that the scam involves individuals outside the nation.
Given that Rs 3.08 crore was dispersed across various bank accounts through 66 transactions, it is likely that more individuals are involved in this crime.
There has been a marked increase in online fraud incidents in Madhya Pradesh, especially in Indore—the state's financial hub. Fraudsters frequently outsmart police warnings and alerts disseminated through campaigns, defrauding substantial amounts from unsuspecting citizens.
