He said that the arrested Rajan is known as Imo Rajan to the locals. He extorts money from people through Imo in a novel way. Rajan opened many groups on Imo under different names by solving Imo related problems for cheating. Anyone who joins this group is targeted. A large number of sticker messages were then sent to his Imo from various numbers in various ways. At some point, the number got hung up due to such a large number of messages. Then the person asks for help in the group. Rajan then talks to the man and asks for access to his ID to solve the ‘problem’. In this case an OTP goes to the customer; through that OTP others also get access. By entering the Imo, Rajan reads all the Imo’s messages and gets information about his relatives. Then to his relative by sending messages like ‘I am in danger, send money’ ‘Mother is sick, send money’ 5 thousand, 10 thousand and so on,
