The crime branch arrested Sumersingh Jagmalsingh from Mumbai this week for allegedly posing as a CBI officer and scamming Ashay Palliwar out of Rs2.32 crore.
According to the police, Jagmalsingh, along with his accomplices Prakash Meghnani and Dalpatsingh Dhasingh, tricked Palliwar by claiming that they were from a CBI team investigating him for allegedly sending foreign currencies and a woman’s body overseas as part of an e-commerce operation.
The fraudsters even fabricated fake documents, including a digital arrest notice, to convince Palliwar of the authenticity of the investigation. The police have since arrested Jagmalsingh and are continuing their investigation into the matter.
