Indian Army — vikas patel cheating in the name of army - royal enfield classic 350

I recently saw an ad on bikewale website. A person who told his name was vikas patel and he was from indian army currently stationed at mumbai. He was selling his bike royal enfield classic 350 (Ka51hd1112) registered in the name of shivakumar due to personal reasons. He wanted to sell his bike for rs 70000 and finally he agreed for rs 65000. He told the vehicle is in mumbai and he will send it in army cargo to bangalore for me to see the bike. He initially told not to pay for the transportation as it was army transportation. He told me to inspect the vehicle and later on if everything was fine then to release the payment. He sent me the rc card and insurance to see once. After looking at the documents, i agreed. Later on, he called to ask for id proof and address so he can fill and send form 29 with bike. I sent him my dl. He later called to ask for advance so he can remove the bike from ad websites and that i would be paying for army transportation. I was reluctant at first but later on i paid rs 2000 through google pay to a number ([protected]) which says army transportation. He sent me the army cargo slip and said the vehicle will reach tomorrow. The next day morning, he called and told me the vehicle has reached army depot. He told the vehicle will reach your location within 2 hours. He later called saying the army people are not allowing the cargo unless i clear the courier charges of rs 7200. I told him i wont pay till the vehicle comes near my place. He requested me to pay or else it would return back to mumbai and he badly needed the money saying he was in emergency. He again told to transfer to army transportation ([protected]). I transferred the amount of rs 7200 through google pay. After 1 hour the delivery guy called saying i need to make half the payment of the bike and it is army rules or else he wont deliver and the amount would be refunded. I found it fishy and asked him first to deliver the vehicle. Later i called vikas and asked him to first deliver the vehicle. He told that it is army rules and the amount would be refunded if you cancel the delivery. I told him to deliver the vehicle first and later collect the amount. He said its not possible so i told him to refund rs 9200 which i paid him. He told the refund will be done by tomorrow. Its been 4 days and now the number is not reachable.
Guys these people first claim to be from indian army and make you trust them. Please do not fall for that.
I just came across a lot of threads where the person by name vikas patel claiming to be from indian army has defrauded so many people.
I'm attaching the documents of the bike and his photo in army dress.
I kindly request the authorities to take strict action against him so that this doesn't happen to others and request you to refund the amount. He is spoiling the good name of the indian army.

On the name of Army officer Manjeet (Hawaldar) someone contacted me via olx. Ask for 50% payment i.e. 32000 and then phones were switched off. To gain the trust, scamster shared the Aadhaar card bearing his photo in Army uniform and his I-card on WhatsApp. They are fraud.
Kindly take action against them.

Regards
