Angul: Despite the government’s repeated alerts and awareness campaigns, a tehsildar reportedly fell victim to cyber fraud and was duped of Rs 90,000 in Odisha’s Angul district.
According to police sources, Rosalin Behera, tehsildar of Talcher in the district, received a message on her mobile phone from an unknown number.
