Olx India — car sale fraud and looting at gunpoint

Address:Gurgaon, Haryana

On may 3rd, i saw an ad in olx who was selling a swift dezire car of 2014 model bearing no. Ts 08eg2753. When enquired about it, the person gave his number as [protected] and name as ravindra reddy and informed me that he is an army personnel and he has brought a hyundai creta car that’s why he is selling this car, and also told that this car is presently at delhi and i have to visit to delhi to collect the car. Then i asked for his address so that my friend who stays in delhi can go and see the car and confirm that this is a non accidental and with all clear documents, and he has given his address as “hyderabad to delhi to gurgaon to badshahpur road, firozpur, jhirka bus stand, plot no. 48” but when my friend was on his way to see the vehicle, the other men was not reachable in the phone, so he has to return back and later mr reddy gave the excuse that he has gone out of state with his army jawans for some urgent work.in the meanwhile i had also booked ticket to go to delhi as mr reddy was pressurising to take the vehicle at the earliest. And finally i boarded the train # 12649 sampark kranthi express with pnr no. [protected] on 12th may 2018 to go to delhi along with two of my friends and on 13th may 2018 i reached hazrat nizamuddin station at around 1000 hrs and while travelling i called mr reddy and insisted him to come to delhi near some hotel so that we can see the vehicle at delhi and finalise it but mr reddy told that he will come to station and when i reached hazrat nizamuddin station, he told me to take the metro train and come to gurgaon huda city station and he will come there, and when i reached there he asked me to take an auto and come to rajiv chowk and his person is waiting there. Accordingly we went to rajiv chowk around 1300 hrs and waited for his person. And finally a person has come in a ritz cab and he spoke to mr ravinder reddy from my mobile and confirmed us that he is his driver and he took us through sohna road and after around half hour journey, he suddenly took a right turn towards some village and stopped at an isolated place where eight men were already waiting with their face covered with white cloth and they immediately pushed into the cab and some of them took their pistols and asked us to hand over all the money, mobile and valuables and we were robbed at gun point. I had rs 2.6 lacs in cash for car, one friend had around rs 10000/- in cash and a gold ring weighing 8 gms and one more friend had around rs 4500/-. All this was looted by the miscreants and they also took away our 3 mobile phones (1). Moto x play and f-eye power bank, (2) redmi phone of my friend and, (3) moto g phone of another friend on checking my google device account, it has shown that my mobile was switched off at ghasera village.
After taking all these things, they gave 3500 rupees for us to go back to hyderabad, and literally we were stranded on roads and we thought of approaching the local police station there but after this ghastly experience we lost complete faith on the local people around, so somehow we just wanted to go back to hyderabad as all our family members were worried when all the three were not reachable on phone.
We somehow booked a ticket and returned back from delhi on 14th may’ 2018 and reached on 15th may’ 2018. Even after coming back, i could not come out of the horrific experience at gurgaon and i felt that i should lodge a complaint so that in future nobody becomes a victim in such a manner. I am still not able to believe what happened and how creep these criminals in and around delhi are.
I request you to kindly trace the miscreants and help in recovering the money (Which i have taken from muthoot by pledging some gold and paying the interest) and valuables and also punish the culprits in such a way that it becomes an example and people should not even think of such ideas.
