Ramgarh, Aug 29: Cybercriminals duped Rs 2.80 lakh from the bank account of a woman named Sangeeta Devi, a resident of Charhi. She had her account at the Bank of India, Balsagra branch under the Mandu police station area in Ramgarh district.
The woman came to know about this when she reached her maternal home, Rabodh, and reached the bank to withdraw the amount.
Sangeeta was shocked when she came to know her account balance was Rs 1,621 instead of lakhs of rupees. She informed the family members including her husband Ajay Kumar Singh. When they reached the bank at the Balsagra branch and started questioning the branch manager, he asked them to register an FIR in the police station about the incident.
After this, Sangeeta’s husband gave an application in the Mandu police station on Sunday against the criminals for illegal withdrawal of money.
The victim’s husband Ajay Kumar Singh said “My in-laws had earlier opened an account in the name of their daughter Sangeeta Devi in which only nominal transactions were done. On April 29, Rs 2,81,458 were deposited in this account. We have been informed that Rs 10,000 were withdrawn for 28 consecutive days since April 30. I have complained about the matter to the cyber police station.”
Anil Hembrom, officer-in-charge of Mandu police station, said that the matter is being investigated and action will be taken against the culprits.
