If you thought that fraud calls are a common man’s thing, you have to read this news! Preneet Kaur, the Congress MP from Patiala, wife of Punjab CM Amarinder Singh and member of an erstwhile royal family, lost 23 lakh over a fraud call.
The man introduced himself as a manager at State Bank of India and asked her for her account number, ATM PIN, CVC number and the OTP that she received. He said that these details were necessary for her salary to be deposited in her account. A minute later, she received a message about 23 lakh being debited from her account.
Considering that this theft happened to a high-profile personality, within minutes of the incident, a six-member police team was dispatched to Jamtara area of Ranchi in Jharkhand who arrested 30-year-old Ataullah Ansari, a resident of Narainpur village in Jharkhand. The police claims to have recovered the entire amount from him.
