Explaining their modus operandi in a press conference Indore police commissioner Hari Narayan Chari
Mishra
said that kingpin of the gang Amit Barfa used to collect mobile numbers through google ads and transfer it to
Pawan Tiwari.
Pawan with help of software shared it to their team, who called identified persons asking them to invest in advisory firms to get good return. Initially, they ask for a very small amount and provide a good return to the investors, said police commissioner Mishra.
When the person got trapped in their allurement, they then asked for bigger investment. On getting a large amount, they replaced their number and didn’t return their money to investors, police commissioner Mishra said. “The police got details of these persons duping multiple people of Rs 5 crore”, police commissioner Mishra said.
