In a concerning case of cybercrime, an accountant from a private company fell victim to fraudsters impersonating the firm's owner, police revealed on Saturday.
The criminals contacted the accountant earlier this month, using an instant messaging app, and presented a woman's photo, claiming she was the granddaughter of a former Director General of Police (DGP). They instructed the accountant to transfer a substantial sum of Rs 1.20 crore to a specified account.
The deception came to light when the criminals attempted the same scheme again, prompting the victim to lodge a complaint about a week ago. An official investigation is now underway, authorities confirmed.
