₹49,999 Withdrawn Without OTP: Driver Files Cybercrime Complaint in Palojori

A fresh case of cyber fraud has surfaced in the Palojori police station area. Sanaul Ansari, a resident of Brahmasonli village and a driver by profession, has lodged a complaint against unknown cyber criminals after ₹49,999 was illegally withdrawn from his bank account.

According to Ansari, the incident occurred on Sunday evening. He was attempting to transfer ₹50,000 to his younger brother for urgent work when he received a message showing insufficient balance. Surprised by this, he checked his account and found that only ₹400 remained, despite having around ₹50,310 earlier.

The next morning, he visited his bank, where officials confirmed that ₹49,999 had been withdrawn online by someone unknown. Notably, Ansari did not receive any call, message, OTP, or security notification related to the transaction, raising suspicion about how the money was accessed.

Following the bank’s information, he immediately reached the Deoghar Cyber Police Station and also contacted the national cybercrime helpline number 1930 to report the fraud. He has requested that the matter be investigated thoroughly and action be taken against those involved.

The police are now looking into the case, which highlights increasing concerns over secure digital banking and cyber safety.
