INTRODUCTION:Eastern Range of Crime Branch, Delhi Police has busted an interstate gang involved in
extortion of money and targeting businessmen, particularly jewellers. Accused Vikas (age 24
years) and Parkash (age 26 years), both real brothers and residents of Nangli Extension, PS
Ranhaula, New Delhi and Idehen Solomon Osazee, a Nigerian national, residing in India illegally
on fake visa have been arrested. Electronic gadgets used for issuing the threats have been
recovered. Till date, they have sent threatening SMS to more than 18 thousand persons,
specially jewellers, all over India.
BACKGROUND:Information was received that a large number of persons had received threats
on their mobile phones through SMS in which the target was threatened that
somebody has paid Rs.10 lac Supari to commit his murder and if he is ready to pay
Rs.11 lac within 48 hours, he can be spared. These messages created panic among the
receivers including some jewellers of Delhi.
They were too scared that they curtailed their movements and confined themselves within
their houses. The person who got the threat was further directed to SMS YES if he is ready to
pay the money or be ready to face dire consequences. When the message of accepting his
demand was sent, he was given an account number of a bank with the direction to deposit the
money and scan the copy of the deposit receipt and mail the scanned copy on a given email.
TEAM:To enquire into the matter, a team was constituted which was led by Inspr Sanjeev and
comprising SIs Manish, Vivek, Devender, ASI Jasvinder Singh, HCs Sanjeev Kumar, Parmod,
Devender, Ramesh, Jagbir, Sanjay Tyagi and Cts Sajjad, Rashid under the close supervision of
ACP Suresh Kaushik and overall guidance of DCP Bhisham Singh. During enquiry, it was found
that a large number of complaints have been filed in different police stations and this threat had
caused a massive panic within the business community all over India. Cases to this effect were
also found registered at PS Shakar Pur and Maurya Enclave. Crime Branch also registered a case
FIR No.3/14 dated 08.01.2014 u/s 384/386/ 506/507 IPC and 66 IT Act on the complaint of a
jeweller in Punjabi Bagh and took up investigation in right earnest.
MODUS OPERANDI:Vikas (age 24 years) s/o Anil Kumar r/o C-3/539 A, Nangli Razapur, area of PS Ranhaula,
New Delhi, is the mastermind of this racket. In the year 2012, he was arrested in South-West
Distt for cheating and had remained in jail for about 8 months in this case. In jail, he came in
contact with some criminals of Nigeria, who were in custody for similar crimes. They became
friends and after being released from jail, he learned modern methods to cheat the persons at
mass level. He associated his real brother Parkash and one Idehen Solomon Osazee, a Nigerian
national with him. He arranged pre-activated SIM cards from different shops in West Delhi and
purchased mobile phones and laptops through different websites. He used these websites and
started dealings in busy public places in order to conceal his identity so that nobody can reach
upto him through earlier owner of the instrument.
In due course, he arranged all the electronic gadgets required for committing such crimes.
He used a Hong Kong based internet site to send bulk SMSs. Earlier, he used to send messages
to different persons informing them that they had won huge amounts in lottery and in case, a
person contacted him, they direct him to deposit advance money as transfer charges to get the
prize amount from foreign country.
Vikas opened accounts in fake names in different banks using fake identities and fake PAN
cards. He used to provide his account to other gangs also, mainly to his Nigerian friends and
associates for committing similar crimes and get commission from them for using his account.
But, because of rising awareness in public on this issue, not many people came forward to claim
the amount of lottery and therefore he realised that this business is no more lucrative.
Moreover, he was not having links in other countries and to mature the deals, he needed foreign
associates.
Therefore, to get quick and bigger amounts instantly, he started this syndicate in
association with his brother Parkash and Solomon. He carefully studied the situation, the
structure of the Indian society and markets and came to the conclusion that jewellers are the
most suitable and soft vulnerable targets for this purpose. During interrogation, he disclosed
that some of the jewellers are from trading community and they dont want to indulge in
litigations or file police complaints. They have maximum cash flow in their businesses. Almost all
the jewellers have their shops on main roads and interact with a large number of customers
daily and therefore, they would not like to suffer in their business for paying this amount. He
deliberately did not keep the amount too high so that the target jeweller does not feel the pinch
while paying money to save his life.
To receive the extorted money, he opened accounts in different banks in the fake name of
Rakesh Kumar. Thereafter, to materialise his plans, he searched various available websites on
internet and collected a huge data of mobile phones of businessmen, most of them being
jewellers. He prepared a threatening alarming message on his computer which could create
terror in the mind of receiver. He was also clever to the extent that he surmised that it is
probably a very difficult and lengthy process for police to get information from a foreign
company. Therefore, he downloaded the software of a Hong Kong based company having no
office in India, to send bulk messages. According to rules, only one hundred bulk messages can
be sent from one SIM card in a day. He used to insert one SIM card in a dongle, attached it with
the computer and send threatening messages to one hundred targets in one go. Then he utilised
another SIM card and repeated the entire process. He used to send around 1500 threatening
messages to different persons in one day and till date have threatened and demanded money
from around 18 to 20 thousand people in a period of just about one month.
In the message, he directed the person to send YES if he is ready to give the money
otherwise he will be killed. To communicate further, he inserted that SIM card in any of the
mobile phone so that he can get the message and further communicate with him. When
contacted by any scared victim, he gave the number of one of the bank account with the
direction to deposit the amount, scan the copy of the deposit receipt and mail to one of his email
Ids. Till date, he had received around 20 lac from different parts of the country and the details of
amounts are being verified to ascertain as to whether received from lottery scam or
threat/extortion racket.
PROFILE:-
Parkash (age 26 years) and Vikas (age 24 years) s/o Anil Kumar are real brothers and are
permanent residents of Distt. Gaya, Bihar. They had shifted to Delhi in the year 1994 and had
been residing in different rented accommodations. Both the brothers have studied upto 11 th
class in Sarvodya Vidyalaya in Delhi Cantt. and thereafter dropped out from school. Both of
them have worked in different call centres for short durations in Noida, Jhandewalan, Okhla
and Nehru Place, but could not get much salary there. Both of them had shifted to Delhi with
big dreams but their dreams did not materialize with the meagre salary so in order to meet his
lavish lifestyle and increasing money requirements after marriage, Vikas indulged in
committing crime.
In 2011, he opened a bank account in Dwarka and managed to send the message of
transfer of funds from abroad by hacking and withdrew the money. On the complaint of the
Bank Manager, a case of cheating was registered and Vikas was arrested in March 2012 and
remained in jail for about 8 months. In jail, he came in contact with some foreign criminals
and learned advanced methods of cheating at mass level. After getting released from jail, he
and his brother Parkash started their illicit operation from different parts of the city. They used
to hire a rented room through rent agreements in areas where nobody knew them and used
the rent agreements in fake names to open accounts in different banks and get the ATM cards.
Later, they withdrew small amounts through ATM and did not hesitate to visit the branches of
the banks and withdraw the big amounts through cheques in person.
Idehen Solomon Osazee (age 30 years) is a resident of Nigeria and came to India in the
year 2011 on a tourist visa of three months, but never returned. He stayed in rented
accommodations in parts of West Delhi and posed himself to be trader of garments. After
release of Vikas from jail, he came in his contact through his associate and started working
with him on lottery scams while advising him about the intricacies and also using his links
abroad whenever required by Vikas. To continue to stay in India, he managed to get a forged
Indian visa with forged stamp of his arrival in India in 2013 and valid till 2014.
Several other cases of threat and extortion have been registered at PSs Shakar Pur,
Maurya Enclave, Karol Bagh and Subzi Mandi and are being investigated by the local police of
respective districts. Information has also been received of such complaints and cases in
Bangalore, Kolkotta and other parts of the country. Further information from the respective
states is also being collected.
