During this, he disclosed HIT YS 105 that: 'My one very old friend Gulshan Kumar son of Ajay Kumar, resident of village Latiya, District Motihari, Bihar, who studied with me in 11th and 12th class in Shri Anurag Narain Singh College Motihari, East Champaran, Bihar, with whom I had 208 CRM-M-62590-2025(O&M) very close sitting-eating relationship. And he used to come to meet me at Swami Vivekanand College Institute of Technology, Banur, Chandigarh and sometimes he stayed with me in the college hostel. That my friend Gulshan Kumar about 2 to 2½ months ago spoke with me that now he along with his friends, by deceit, calls people and trapping them in his talks, withdraws online money from their bank accounts. And for withdrawing those online- fraudulently taken money he needs different banks' accounts, passbooks, ATM cards and SIM numbers attached with the accounts. "You find boys from your college who, on your saying, will open their bank accounts and give them to me. Then I will give you 15,000/-15,000/- rupees for each account. And to the person whose account you give me, I will also give 15,000/- per account." So I, due to greed for money, came under the influence of my friend Gulshan Kumar's words. And to do this work for him, I spoke with my friend Idrish Ali son of Shokat Ali Khan, resident of village Jharod, near New Masjid, District Nagaur, Rajasthan, who studies with me in Swami Vivekanand College Institute of Technology, Banur, Chandigarh and is studying Radiology. Then, on the asking of Gulshan Kumar, I told my friend Idrish Ali to get a Punjab National Bank account opened. So my friend Idrish Ali, under greed of money, in his own name opened Punjab National Bank Branch account number 0853100100005058 dated 15-6- 2022, and after receiving the ATM of the account after 2/3 days, including ATM No. 5085460023535183, and after purchasing SIM number 62834-77841 in his own name, gave them to me. I, after one-two days, gave Idrish Ali's Punjab National Bank Branch Rajpura passbook, ATM card, and the SIM number 62834-77841 purchased by him ahead to my associate Gulshan Kumar. In return, Gulshan Kumar gave to me and to my friend Idrish Ali 15,000/-, 15,000/- rupees, out of which the 15,000/- rupees given in the name of Idrish Ali by Gulshan Kumar, I gave to him."

Ritik had called him there about 3-4 months earlier. It was further disclosed that at that place, those persons used to cheat innocent people by deceiving them over phone, trapping them in conversation, and thereafter transferring money online from their bank accounts into other accounts. Later, they would withdraw the amounts. He revealed that for this illegal activity, they required passbooks of various bank accounts, ATM cards, and the SIM numbers attached to those accounts. According to him, Ritik and Sandeep had explained the entire fraud to him and told him to lure his own friends by offering them money, and have bank accounts opened in their names. He was told that he would be paid ₹10,000 per account, and the person in whose name the account was opened would be paid 15,000. He stated that he fell into their 208 CRM-M-62590-2025(O&M) temptation for money and, after talking to his friends, started getting bank accounts opened in their names by offering them monetary inducements, and would then hand over those accounts to his associates Ritik and Sandeep @ Sandy.

10. That therefore, the above said Ritik and Sandeep @ Sandy were also nominated as co-accused and they both were also brought on production warrant and were formally arrested in the present case with the permission of the Ld. Magistrate. The co- accused Ritik Singh made disclosure statement dated 11.09.2022 before the investigating officer that, "After finishing my +2 studies, I used to roam around idle in the village. At that time, two real brothers from our village, Aman Singh and his brother Adarsh Singh, sons of Anjay Singh, residents of Village Parsona, District East Champaran, PS Sangrampur, Bihar, who had been living in Delhi for quite some time, when they came back to the village, about 4/5 months earlier, they took me along with them to their rented accommodation at Plot No. 148, Flat 208 CRM-M-62590-2025(O&M) No. 003, A-Block, Rajindra Park, Gurugram, Haryana. There, they introduced me to Gulshan Kumar, son of Ajay Kumar, resident of Village Latiya, PS Paharpur, District Motihari, Bihar, who had already been living with them. Along with them, many other boys from different states were also present. They had together formed a very large gang, in which I also became included. They used to cheat innocent people by misleading them through WhatsApp calls, trapping them in their talk, and then making them transfer money online from their bank accounts into various bank accounts that had been purchased from different boys. Afterward, they would withdraw the transferred money. For this reason, they needed passbooks of different bank accounts, ATM cards, and the SIM numbers attached to those bank accounts. For collecting such bank accounts, passbooks, and attached SIMs from boys all over the country, Aman Singh and his brother Adarsh Singh had kept many boys engaged. Among them, Gulshan Kumar was also included. Regarding this entire fraud, Aman Singh, his brother Adarsh Singh, and their associate Gulshan Kumar talked to me and explained everything to me about the fraud. Aman Singh and Adarsh Singh kept me on salary for maintaining the accounts of various bank accounts, passbooks, ATM cards and attached SIMs, which had been collected from many boys for committing the fraud, at the rate of Rs. 20,000 per month. They also took responsibility for all my monthly expenses including food, clothing and other expenses. They used to trap innocent people through their talk over WhatsApp calls and pull out huge amounts of money online from their bank accounts into the purchased bank accounts of different boys. Thereafter, they used to withdraw the money through ATM. This amount used to be in lakhs on a daily basis. During this same period, Aman Singh and Adarsh Singh had many boys appointed across the country to collect bank accounts. Ours was a very large gang, in which I myself was also included. During this period, in June 2022, Gulshan Kumar gave me a bank account number 208 CRM-M-62590-2025(O&M) 0853100100005058 with ATM No. 5085460023535183 and SIM No. 62834-77841, which was in the name of Idris Ali, son of Shaukat Ali Khan, resident of Village Jharod, near New Masjid, District Nagaur, Rajasthan, after purchasing it for committing fraud. In return, Aman Singh and Adarsh Singh had given about Rs. 40,000 to Gulshan Kumar. This account / handed over to Aman Singh and Adarsh Singh for committing fraud. Into this bank account, both of them, by calling innocent people through WhatsApp and trapping them in their talk, had several times made online money transfers. This money was in lakhs. Out of that, on 06-07-2022, by misleading some unknown person and trapping him in their talk, they had made an online transfer of Rs. 4 lakhs from his bank account into the said account of Idris All. I remember this incident. Later also, many times lakhs of rupees were fraudulently transferred online into this bank account. Afterward, in July 2022 itself, I returned this bank account along with ATM and passbook to Gulshan Kumar. The SIM number 62834-77841 was kept by Aman Singh and Adarsh Singh with themselves. Then, in August 2022, Gulshan Kumar, Sandeep Kumar @ Sandy, Bunty and I, who were all part of our gang, were arrested by Gurugram Police after conducting raids at different police stations. Many SIMs of various companies, mobile phones of different companies, many ATM cards of various banks and passbooks etc. were recovered from us, and a case was registered against us. At the time of this arrest, Aman Singh and his brother Adarsh Singh had gone to their village Parsona, Bihar. I joined their gang due to greed for money and committed a very big mistake. Kindly forgive me."
