Kathmandu. Amit Kumar Thakor and Sumit Kumar Thakor, two brothers from Delhi, India, were running a business of cheating people. They had run this fraud in a very clever manner.
Posing as agents of insurance companies, the Thakor brothers used to call upright people and sell fake policies on the pretext of more profits. Then the real game started when they used to extort millions of rupees from people by giving false promises of returning the policy money.
There is a saying in Nepali– ‘Sin cries from the axis.’ Yes, the game of printing the money of those Thakor brothers has finally ended in the same way. They have now been sent to jail in a cheating case.
Nowadays, the incidents of online fraud have increased a lot. The Thakor brothers use new methods to trap people and rob them of their hard-earned money. The same thing happened in Surat. The two brothers called an elderly man and told him that they were speaking from an insurance company. Then they lured the old man to earn a lot of money and made 10 different insurance policies in the name of his family members. They then paid some money and said that all the money would be returned to the maturity of the policy. In this way, by trapping those increases in conversation, the cheated brothers gradually transferred about Rs 1 crore (Rs 1.6 0 crore) from the old man’s account to various accounts.
When the old man did not get a single rupee back, he realised that he had been cheated and immediately lodged a complaint with the cyber cell of the police. As soon as the complaint was received, the cyber cell was activated. The police understood everything from the elderly and then extracted details of all the bank accounts where the money was transferred.
With the help of technical investigation, the police came to know that the brothers were hiding in Delhi. Finally, the police arrested Amit and Sumit from Delhi.
During police interrogation, it was found that 28-year-old Amit used to talk to the elderly man on the phone, identifying himself as Bikram Singh Rawat. He had transferred more than Rs 9.8 million to various bank accounts by luring the elderly to talk. Amit had transferred rs 36.81 lakh to Sumit’s account and also transferred some money to his sister’s account. Sumit immediately withdrew the money sent by Amit and gave it to his brother.
The police are currently investigating the matter. Police suspect that the brothers may have duped several other innocent people of lakhs of rupees.
