SIRSA: Sirsa police have booked assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Shiv Kumar and four other police employees from Sonipat for allegedly kidnapping a man from Jaipur in neighbouring Rajasthan and transferring 30 bitcoins, worth about Rs 9 crore, from the complainant’s mobile to another account.
The accused had brought the victim and his friend to Kharkhoda in Haryana‘s Sonipat district.
A zero FIR was lodged on the complaint of the victim, Shashikant, a resident of Gyan Vihar Colony of Neem Ka Thana town in Rajasthan’s Sikar district, and sent to Jaipur police for further investigation. Shashikant, who is a proclaimed offender in a cheating case lodged against him in Sirsa in 2013, was arrested here by ASI Satyaveer on January 23 this year and produced in court the next day.
Kidnapping victim proclaimed offender in Sirsa
Sirsa City police station in-charge inspector Vikram said a zero FIR has been registered on Shashikant’s statement against ASI Kumar of Sonipat police, police employee Monu and three unknown police employees under sections 365 (kidnapping or abduction with intent secretly and wrongfully to confine person), 384 (extortion), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (common intention) of the IPC.
In his statement, Shashikant said he worked in digital cryptocurrency because of which he knew ASI Kumar and Monu. He said that on January 22, when he was at his friend Gaurav’s flat in Rajasthan’s Jaipur, the two cops came there along with their colleagues in a black SUV. He said the cops abducted them and took them to Kharkhoda police station but the cops there refused to keep them in illegal custody, so their abductors took them to a farmhouse and kept them in captivity. Later, their abductors made a WhatsApp call to Shashikant’s wife and asked for 25 bitcoins. Shashikant alleged that their abductors transferred 30 bitcoins, worth about Rs 9 crore, from his mobile to another account.
Inspector Vikram said that Shashikant was nabbed on chance interrogation by ASI Satyaveer near LIC Bhawan, and he admitted to being a proclaimed offender in a cheating case. “A case of cheating was registered against Shashikant on September 14, 2013, and he did not appear in the court. On this, the court of the then chief judicial magistrate of Sirsa, Savita Kumari, had declared him a proclaimed offender on August 21, 2018,” he said.
Shashikant’s advocates Rishi Kumar Sharma and Robin Mehta said the Sirsa police registered a zero FIR on the order of the court.
