Online fraudsters dupe retired govt employee of Rs10 lakh

A retired government employee was duped by unknown online fraudsters on the pretext of investment. He was duped of around Rs 10 lakh by the swindlers.

He filed a complaint with the DGP, Commissioner of Police, Amritsar and the cyber cell in May this year. However, the police was yet to file an FIR in this connection.

“I hoped that the police would have taken prompt action by registering an FIR and identifying the suspects who had apparently duped a number of persons like me by posing as investment firm owners,” said the complainant while wishing not to be named. He had retired from the agriculture department last year and got retirement funds.
