SHOCKING: Gurugram youth takes inspiration from | Indian Movie News
The web sequence Pritam And Pedro, produced by Rajkumar Hirani and starring his son Vir Hirani alongside Arshad Warsi and Vikrant Massey, has been appreciated for its humour, writing, performances and, most importantly, its message about cybercrime. Ironically, a youth in Gurugram allegedly took inspiration from the sequence to commit a crime himself. His plan, however, was short-lived as the police tracked him down and arrested him.
As per an article in the Times of India, the accused, Alok Okay, posed as a scholar counsellor and met a 21-year-old particular person earlier this 12 months, who was enrolled in a distance-learning programme for an MBA (finance) with a prestigious management institute. The scholar and the accused met at a cafe in Juhu, Mumbai and the latter helped the previous full his admission formalities. As a outcome, the scholar began to trust him.
A few months in the past, the sufferer was showing for an online examination when an alert appeared on his system screen that copying had been detected. According to the report in the Times of India, the scholar called the accused and clarified that he was not copying. The same alert popped up on the last day of the examination, and this time, the appliance crashed.
The article then states, “Alok called up the student and inquired whether he had been copying again. At this, the student once again denied any wrongdoing. The student grew nervous when Alok warned him that he would be debarred and blacklisted and would never be able to get admission in any other university in future. Alok offered to sort out the matter and started demanding money. He also promised to refund the money if he was unable to do the job.”
The scholar then transferred Rs. 24.60 lakhs in installments, out of which Alok refunded him only Rs. 1.15 lakh. Meanwhile, the scholar handed the examination and yet, the accused stored on demanding money. This is when the scholar realized that he had been conned. He told his dad and mom about it and subsequently lodged a grievance at the Bangur Nagar police station earlier this month.
The cops surveilled Alok’s telephone data and the money path, which helped them monitor his location to Gurugram. He was arrested on September 11. The article revealed, “Police said Alok used to previously work at a call centre that had been contracted by the management institute to coordinate with all students regarding admissions and counselling. He got the victim’s phone number from the call centre’s database and targeted him. Police have seized two cellphones from him.”
Once arrested, the accused revealed to the cops that he was impressed by the antagonist, essayed by Vikrant Massey, in Pritam And Pedro and meant to use social engineering and impersonation to deceive the sufferer.
