The cases of cyber frauds are increasing rapidly in India. The top executives are also being targeted by the fraudsters. After Ex-DGM of PNB, now fraudsters tried to loot an SP in Jharkhand.
Jamtara police on Tuesday arrested four cyber frauds for allegedly trying to dupe SP Rajkumar Mehta, by impersonating as an executive of the State Bank of India.
The fraudsters called SP Mehta a few days back, citing technical issues in his SBI online app, and attempted to obtain confidential information in the name of reactivating the app.
But the SP became alert and did not share any information. Following the incident, police launched an investigation to track the fraudsters and nabbed four persons on Tuesday from Lakhanudih area under Karamatar police station limits.
