Cyber fraudsters stole around 30 lakhs from a bank account after the public sector bank employees fell prey. The entire amount belongs to an automobile agency in Dwaraka Nagar.
 According to the police, cyber criminals impersonated the Automobile Agency's managing partner and called bank officials to request urgent RTGS transfers to four different bank accounts. A scanned copy of the request letter was also sent to bank officials via a social messaging app. The officials transferred the money, which was around 30 lakhs, to four different accounts after believing the request was genuine.

The managing partner rushed to the bank after receiving bank messages indicating that money had been debited. The bank officials then found out about the fraud, and immediately froze the accounts, but were only able to recover a few lakhs.

The managing partner of the automobile agency accused the bank officials of negligence as they failed to verify whether the impersonated call and messages came from the registered mobile number. He also claimed that the bank staff did not follow proper procedure before transferring such a large sum.
