Victims of online frauds in Indore get back ₹ 1 crore with help of cops
A total of ₹1.03 crore was returned to the complainants from the fraudsters between January and March.
Indore Police secured the return of over ₹one crore belonging to the victims of online frauds during the past three months, an official said on Monday. A total of ₹1.03 crore was returned to the complainants from the fraudsters between January and March and legal steps are being taken against the accused, said Additional Deputy Commissioner (Crime Branch) Guruprasad Parashar. He said that analysis of such complaints shows that most people fall prey to fraudsters who lure them with offers of jobs and prize money. Parashar said that fraudsters are trapping people sending web links or One Time Passwords (OTPs) on their mobile phones and siphoning off money from the victims’ accounts.
