Sandeep used to pose as as CBIEDRBI, income tax, and police officials and extorted money by putting people under digital arrest.” He said Sen is tech savvy and used to download and manipulate the FIR pattern as done by the central agencies and then targetted gullible individuals.” “After duping over a dozen people, the duo had set up two bar-cum-restaurants named Night Queen Bar & Restaurant and Metro View Bar & Restaurant at central Delhi after spending over Rs 40 lakh.
They had even kept bouncers and led a lavish lifestyle,” he added.

To win the trust of victims, they even created fake ledger accounts app or documents to show benefits,” DCP said. Cybercriminals even saved their numbers as CBI officer on true callers, he said.
