Bhawanipatna: A business of Odisha’s Kalahandi district allegedly lost Rs 1.79 lakh in four instalments to a cyber fraudster for a software update.
The victim has been identified as Narayan Agarwal.
According to sources, Agarwal had called the customer care executive of a software company for update related queries. While money was withdrawn from his account, he got no notification from the bank on the same.
On getting to know about the fraud, Agarwal lodged a written complaint with Kesinga police station and another at the Berhampur cyber cell.
On January 27, Kalahandi police had cracked a case of online fraud with the arrest of five people from Uttar Pradesh for duping a Bhawanipatna resident.
The fraudsters had swindled Rs 1 lakh by taking Rs 20,000 on five occasions from Google Pay and Rs 45,000 from the bank accounts by obtaining the OTP from one Gangadhar Subudhi, a senior citizen of Bhawanipatna Sharma Colony. They even took away Rs 1,20,000 from his wife’s account.
