[Resolved]  Olx India — fraud add in olx- car purchasing

I saw an ad for maruti omni with vehicle number ka 17b 5946 with very good condition as mentioned by the fraud (Named as vijaya kumara b r) in olx app. As he told it's a 2012 model and driven only 8000 kms and priced as rs.80000/-. Later i negotiated it to rs.70000/-, so deal was final and he mentioned he is a cisf constable, bengaluru. He was using his phone no. [91-[protected]] for all the communication with me. He asked me to pay rs 5000 as advance to paytm account number[protected] and i transferred and confirmed from him.
So date of delivery fixed on today (12/11/2019). So today morning (Around 7 am) he called me and shared the bill/receipt from "airport service army transport" he told, car will be delivered as per the schedule (6 pm) and a will come to deliver along with army transport vehicle. Around 12:30 pm again he called and asked to pay rs 15999 & 21990 to another paytm account[protected] indicating it he has to handed over to army official to further proceed. As it was related to indian army personal i was following the instructions and paid amount 15999 & 21990.

He told he will be busy in his office work so he can't talk for further process and whatever process that person tells you have to follow and pay him using google pay/paytm. After that now again the same guy is called me from phone number +91-[protected] asked me to pay the next mentioned amount in the bill as a process. That time i realised something back of mind as a case of fraud and started searching in google and found this post with similar bill consignment number and cisf id proof with photo only name changed as vijaya kumar b r. I have attached all the related screenshots. Please help me to get back my amount and stop this kind of cheating who are spoiling indian army name.
