Kolkata: When police officers Kolkata Premjit Biswas and Daia Mukherjee entered the conversation on Facebook Messenger with a profile that resembled fraudsters Angad Mehta, who had postponed the garawan jewelry store on August 19, a little they knew that their next two-week efforts would land Conman Sarthak Rao Babras in the police net.
Babras forty-two years have presented a term in Hyderabad and Port Blair and he was involved in various cases in Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow.
Babras is believed to have deceived several five-star hotels, jewelry stores and with forged identities, he will only disappear into thin air.
His luck took place on September 5 when the two officers connected him to believe that his new female friend on Facebook, Payel Sharma, was desperate to meet him.
As custody, when he told the police about his real name, they realized his finger lies and fraud activities throughout India.
Previously, Garawan police, after using digital forensics, it was finally able to track social media profiles, which resembled Babras.
According to the FIR who nested with the Garawan Police Station, the fraudsters have checked into the shady guest house of the Hindustan Park who did not have a CCTV cover with a fake voter card named Angad Mehta, which he shared at WhatsApp.
Babras ordered online jewelry, requesting cash delivery.
When jewelry, worth Rs 1.9 lakh, was delivered, he took him with the pretext to show him to his wife in the next room and then disappeared.
The voter ID turned out to be fake while all the calls were turned off.
Except for whatsapp images he gave to the guesthouse, he did not leave another trail.
Single image tracked to the Facebook profile.

Babras lifestyle and his tendency to respond to some of his girlfriends led by Biswas and Mukherjee to put traps.
After gaining trust, the officers fished from Andhra Pradesh to Millennium Park.
Babras, dressed neatly, came to meet his new friend but walked to the prison van.
After that, his actual identity appeared.
According to the researchers, Babras, who came from Port Blair, had an old anteceden of the crime.
In accordance with the details available with the police, he has been arrested in Port Blair in 2012 and six years later in Hyderabad.
In Port Blair, he was in prison for a short time but he had undergone three years in Chanchalguda’s correctional house.
In Port Blair, he was arrested for slipping after checking into a five-star Hyderabad hotel like Kolkata where he had cheated shipping executives to hand him over jewelry, which had been booked online.
“These are two specific examples we get.
We try to find out more about the criminal record of his past,” said a senior police officer.
The investigator was first aware of their catch when they – together with Salt Lake Police – scan the OYO hotel room which has been checked into the Salt Lake Sector-2 when he reaches Kolkata earlier this month.
The police confiscated two voter IDs (Epic No.
Noh00782648 on behalf of Harsh Oberoi and ANQ00785461 on behalf of Angad Mehta).
But it was the confiscated aadhar card (456800243490) which gave the name Sarthak Rao Babras.
Internet search and interrogation do the rest.
