Accused's digital skills baffle Bengaluru police in 13-year-old boy's kidnap-murder case: Report
When police arrested the suspects behind the shocking kidnap and murder of a 13 year old Bengaluru boy and began investigations, they were left puzzled by one pressing question: How did a simple driver manage to skillfully wield technology like virtual private networks (VPN) and voice over internet protocol (VoIP) to mask his tracks during the ransom call? Gurumurthy evaded capture using VPN and VoIP, prompting police to rely on tech help to track him down. (iStockphoto) Cops believe Gurumurthy may have picked up these digital tricks from his brother, a police constable with experience in the Bengaluru City Police social media division, who is now posted at an embassy in the Middle East, The Times of India reported. At first, police thought Gurumurthy was an experienced criminal; he hid behind a foreign phone number while calling the parents of the deceased school boy Nischith, demanding ₹5 lakh for the boy's release.

Curiously, he typed in English, yet the recipient read the messages in Hindi. Despite their efforts, police found traditional tracking methods useless, as Gurumurthy used VPN and VoIP tech to cover his digital trail, the report said.

Law enforcement responded with their own tech arsenal, getting help from the state's intelligence branch and the Central Crime Branch. After a prolonged chase, DCP Narayana obtained a clue about an alternate mobile number Gurumurthy was using, leading to his eventual capture. Senior officers expressed surprise at Gurumurthy's digital prowess. He outmanoeuvred cops at every step. He was careful, using all possible tactics during ransom negotiations. Once he recovers from his gunshot wound, we'll interrogate him further, an official said, as quoted by the publication.

Kidnapper's IP address masking skills leave Bengaluru cops stunned
Bengaluru: As the long arm of law finally caught up with the mastermind behind the kidnap-murder of a teenage boy in the city, the one question that has left the sleuths flummoxed is: How could an ordinary driver be so adept at handling virtual private networks (VPN) and voice over internet protocol (VoIP), deftly concealing his identity while making ransom calls? Investigators suspect accused Gurumuthy had picked up the skills from his brother — a constable who earlier worked in the social media wing of Bengaluru City Police and is currently deployed at the Indian embassy in a Middle Eastern country. Initially, cops assumed Gurumurthy was a professional criminal who was using an overseas phone number to make calls to 13-year-old victim Nischith's parents for a Rs 5 lakh ransom.

He was typing in English, but the messages showed in Hindi on the recipient's phone," a police officer said. "Trying to track the number using conventional methods was futile as the accused made the calls either through VPN or VoIP," the officer added. Inspector Kumaraswamy B G, as part of a 20-member police team, raced against time to pin down Gurumurthy, even as the latter kept changing his location between Doddakallasandra and Yelachenahalli, going offline intermittently. To track him down, police, too, used technology, with assistance from the state intelligence unit and the central crime branch (CCB). As the cat-and-mouse game continued for some time, DCP Narayana got an inkling about Gurumurthy's other mobile number and finally tracked him down. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "We are shocked by his technical skills. He knew how to evade the police. He used all his techniques while demanding ransom from the boy's mother. Once Gurumurthy recovers from the bullet injury, we will take him into custody for further investigation," a senior officer said.
