Man loses Rs 25 L in fraud after accepting a Facebook request

A 67-year-old man last month received a request on Facebook from an unknown woman. A resident of Delhi, he accepted the request. But this was just the beginning of the troubles that were to follow, and an alleged fraud of Rs 25 lakh.

Immediately after he accepted the request on July 28, he got a video call from the same account — a woman could be seen undressing. “I immediately cut the call,” he recounted.
