Six Arrested in Indore USDT Robbery Posing as Crime Branch
Some people in a city called Indore made a plan to steal money.
They pretended to want to buy USDT, which is a kind of digital money.
A man named Abhay brought ₹7 lakh in cash to meet them for the deal.
Instead, some men in the group pretended to be police officers.
They hurt Abhay and ran away with his money.
The real police found the bad guys very quickly, in less than two days.
Two of them crashed a scooter while trying to run away and got injured.
The police caught all six men and found part of the stolen money.
They are still looking for one more person who they think helped with the plan.
Six men were arrested in Indore for allegedly robbing Abhay Tiwari of ₹7 lakh by posing as Crime Branch officials.
The complainant was lured to Saket Square with the promise of a USDT trading deal worth around ₹7 lakh.
The group planned the robbery at a cafe near Bengali Square and used a staged police raid as the cover to snatch the cash.
Two suspects, Shashank Pardesi and Vishal Sharma, were caught after a scooter crash near the Khajrana service road, while the rest were intercepted near the railway station.
Police recovered part of the looted cash and are still searching for another suspect, Monu alias Vivek Pardesi.
