Mangaluru: In a major cyber fraud, an individual allegedly lost about Rs 44,500 after updating the KYC details of the bank account to prevent the account from being blocked, as claimed by an anonymous caller

An unidentified person contacted the complainant at 11:30 am on Wednesday, stating that the bank account had been blocked. The caller then told the complainant to update the KYC details in order to unblock the account. Falling for it, the complainant provided the customer ID, ATM card details, and account information to the caller.

Subsequently, the complainant also shared the One-Time Password (OTP) he/she received, unknowingly granting access to the account. Within a short period, Rs 44,500 was withdrawn from the victim's bank account, prompting the complainant to report the incident as an unauthorized transfer.


A case has been registered at the CEN Police Station and investigation is underway.

Ranchi (PTI): Jharkhand BJP on Tuesday took out a torch rally in Ranchi against the Congress-led opposition alliance for allegedly obstructing the implementation of the women's reservation bill in the Lok Sabha.

Led by the BJP women's wing, the 'Mahila Aakrosh Mashal Yatra' was taken out from Ranchi's Jaipal Singh Stadium to Albert Ekka Chowk.

Jharkhand BJP president Aditya Sahu, who also took part in the procession, said, "By opposing the Women's Reservation Bill, the Congress-led opposition alliance in Lok Sabha has committed an injustice against women in the country. The people will never forgive them."

Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth said, "Historic decisions are being taken to empower women under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but the opposition is obstructing women's rights due to its narrow politics."

Jharkhand BJP women's wing president Aarti Singh said that the women of Jharkhand have now awakened and are ready to fight to any extent for their honour and rights.
