Ahmedabad Crime Branch detain duo who posed as cops and duped man of ₹36,000

Two persons posing as policemen and duping individuals were held in Ahmedabad. The duo scammed an electrician of ₹36,000 by posing as police officers, and falsely accusing him of being wanted in a drugs case.

Business News

When Ramesh Dangar, 33, was heading towards Science City’s Sopan Society for an electrical job on his two-wheeler around 3 pm on September 23, two men stopped him and made him park his vehicle by the roadside.

They introduced themselves as police officers and started shouting at Dangar, accusing him of being wanted in an Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) case.

One of them even assaulted him and threatened to take him to the police station unless he paid a hefty sum to ‘erase’ his name from the case.

A panic-stricken Dangar handed over ₹36,000 that he was carrying to the duo.

The impostor duo then demanded another ₹50,000. To fulfil their demand, they took Dangar to an HDFC ATM on Science City Road to withdraw the said amount.

Meanwhile, upon reaching the ATM, Dangar noticed that their vehicle had no number plate, and suspected foul play.

To evade losing more money, Dangar deliberately entered the wrong PIN at the ATM, causing his card to be blocked.

Frustrated by their failed attempt, the fraudsters decided to take Dangar to a petrol pump near Gota Bridge, where he’d transfer money via UPI to the petrol pump’s account, and they would collect cash from there.

However, while conversing with the petrol pump staff, Dangar managed to escape the accused’s captivity and headed straight to a nearby traffic police station. Seeing Dangar heading towards the police station, the two fled the scene as well.

Dangar filed a complaint on October 1, following which the case was handed over to the Ahmedabad City Crime Branch.

Based on CCTV footage from the areas where the extortion took place, two suspects were detained today.
