CASE BACKGROUND

Complainant Shri S. Rahul s/o Ramji Sahu r/o C-85, Sarita Vihar, Delhi filed a complaint with Crime Branch and reported that he has been cheated by a group of cheats who came in contact with him through facebook. The accused person lured the victim to get hefty marginal profit for purchasing & selling Aquasiotin Herbal Root seed being used for research and treatment of cancer and took Rs. 13,07,400/- from him.


MODUS OPERANDI

One Ms. Armand Linda contacted the victim in March-2017 through facebook and got friendly with him. Ms. Armand Linda claimed herself to be based in UK and working as Assistant Purchase Manager in Health Pro Pharmaceutical Company, UK. After some conversations, the lady told him that her company had to purchase ‘Aquaslotin Herbal Root Seeds’ being used for research & treatment of cancer. Thereafter, the lady lured the victim & convinced him to purchase the said seeds at lower costs from a trader in Mumbai and then sell it to her company at much higher rates and thereafter the profit would be shared between them. The said Ms. Armand Linda also provided him email id of one Anitha Sharma of ‘Sharma Traders’ in Mumbai. On this, he agreed to her proposal and contacted Anitha Sharma and on her directions, he transferred Rs.13,04,700/- as advance for 5 packets of seeds. In the meantime, one person claiming himself as Dr. Cosmos Brown, Purchase Manager of the company visited his house and checked the samples of seed and agreed to purchase them. On his directions, the complainant formed a proprietorship firm. Thereafter, they put a condition to supply 50 packets of seeds and only then they will do the business deal. In this way, the accused persons cheated the victim and were at large since then. On this, a case of cheating was registered by Crime Branch and investigation was taken up.

TEAM & OPERATION

A team of SWR, Crime Branch led by Insp. Attar Singh comprising of SI Rakesh Yadav, HCs Rajeev Sahrawat, Ramkumar, Neeraj Pandey, Ajit Singh & Consts. Kuldeep Singh, Mukesh Sehrawat, Rahul Kumar, Deepak Gulia, Sandeep Nara and W/Cts. Kamlesh & Mamta was constituted to nab the criminals under the supervision of ACP Jasbir Singh.

After diligent technical & field work, the Crime Branch team traced one of the accused Vishal Sharma @ Binni @ Ankit Kumar, who had provided his bank account for transfer of cheated amount in Mumbai and arrested him on 23.06.2017. On his interrogation and disclosure, both the master mind Nigerian nationals were arrested by Crime Branch from Navi Mumbai on 28.06.2017. Both the Nigerian nationals were not having any valid Visa or passport for stay in India, hence relevant sections of Foreigners Act were also added in the case against them.



INTERROGATION & DISCLOSURE

On interrogation, the mastermind accused George Ike @ Dr. Cosmos Brown told that he is a Nigerian and has two kids and wife in his family.  About one year back, he had come to India on business Visa. After some time he came in contact with some other Nigerian Nationals, who were indulging in cheating and he formed his own group with the help of Ugwuele Bright Onyeka @ De Man Cooler @ Mathew, his friend Anitha Sharma, Vishal Sharma & Aniket Shinde etc. started cheating by posing themselves as representative of a UK based pharmaceutical company.

The accused Ugwuele Bright Onyeka @ De Man Cooler @ Mathew first time came to India in the year 2011 on business visa and went back to his country after some time. This time, he came to India in 2014, on Medical Visa for treatment of his kidneys and started residing in Mumbai. He started food stuff business, but due to his bad habits of alcoholism, his business did not go well. Hence, he joined the group of George Ike and started cheating people.

The accused Vishal Sharma used to provide his bank accounts to the Nigerian nationals for transfer of cheated amount from victims. For this, he used to receive share for each transaction from the accused persons.


Efforts are being made to trace the absconding accused persons and more victims of the case.
