Scammer arrested after I exposed him (Patreon)

You'll be pleased to know that one group of scammers have been shut down and the lead scammer has been arrested and jailed as a result of exposing his scams on YouTube.
You might remember this video:

In it, I expose Arjun Singh, of the city of Dehradun in northwest India. Despite contacting the Dehradun police in June 2020 (the video was released in September), it wasn't until after the video was released that I got a response from the Uttarakand police that they wanted to investigate.
I was able to send them recordings of Arjun's scams, lists of his victims, how much money he stole and his identity documents.
Eventually, one diligent member of the police followed this up in January this year and this has led to the arrest and jailing of Arjun Singh. Here's the press article:

There are a few more notices in Hindi too:

So this is a great result. As you know, my aim is not just to raise awareness of scams, but to encourage the police into taking action and this certainly seems to have worked here.
Thank you all again for giving me the time to expose scammers like Arjun. In the background, I work with police and financial institutions to protect the victims of these crimes and I really would not be able to get the time without your support in Patreon. Thank you again for making this happen!
