The modus operandi of Laal Rang was simple yet sinister. He would initiate conversations on Tinder, often complimenting his matches on their profiles and feigning interest in getting to know them. Once he had gained their trust, he would concoct stories of woe, such as claiming to be stuck in a foreign country or facing financial difficulties. He would then request small amounts of money to help him tide over his supposed troubles. Yadav would also use social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to showcase his supposed lavish lifestyle, further convincing his victims of his authenticity.
