Bengaluru: Boy uses dad’s cell, loses Rs 4.8 lakh to online fraudsters

BENGALURU: A 46-year-old man from KR Puram has alleged that online fraudsters siphoned off Rs 4.8 lakh from his bank account after luring his minor son with online games.
Ramesh (name changed), a private firm employee and resident of Akshayanagar near KR Puram, said his 15-year-old son would play on with his mobile and had downloaded an online game for the same. A suspect identified as Lakshmi Bai contacted his son online and lured him to play more interesting online games.
She allegedly asked Ramesh’s son to download more paid online games and began sending him links to make a payment for it. The boy had no idea about the conmen.
