Accordingly, he  contacted the said Facebook user on his given mobile number, who introduced himself as wholesale dealer of clothes, presently running a shop in the name of Haroon Bazaz & Co,  located at 8/21 Jangpur Extension, South Delhi. The complainant ordered some clothes and electronic items online from him, for which he transferred a staggering amount of Rs 3,61,000 into the accused’s bank account.

On the receipt of this information, case FIR no 25/2021 under relevant sections of law was registered and investigation taken up.

During investigation, this Police Station came to know from different sources and various media channels that this online fraudster has not only duped the complainant, but also dozens of other innocent people in Kashmir valley on the pretext of cheap airline ticket fraud. The Modus Operandi of the accused was to create fake Social Media profiles to impersonate authentic travel agencies and then post advertisements for cheap air tickets with best offers. People, in an urgency to travel by Air, search low price travel tickets on social media sites and upon click-baiting to the accused’s site, they would get trapped in this fraud. Gullible customers shared personal details and make online payments to the fraudster’s bank account. After paying money online, the said fraudster would not provide tickets to customers and when customers called him, his mobile number would be switched off siphoning off the money of gullible citizens.

Almost a dozen complaints of such nature were received from different persons and accordingly, another case FIR no. 27/2022 under relevant sections was registered by Police Station Cyber. Strenuous efforts were made to arrest the accused, however, the accused deftly evaded arrest by frequently changing his locations. Utilizing technical expertise and investigative acumen of the Cyber Police team, the accused was found to be in New Delhi. Keeping in view the sensitivity and nature of offences committed by the accused , on the directions of Inspector General of Police, Kashmir Zone, Srinagar a special team Of Cyber Police Kashmir was deputed to New Delhi and with assistance of Delhi Police, the accused was arrested from Paharganj area of New Delhi.

General public is once again advised not to fall prey to cyber fraudsters over social media claiming to provide cheaper rates on material or services etc.
