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 Within a short period, Rs 44,500 was withdrawn from the victim's bank account, prompting the complainant to report the incident as an unauthorized transfer.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.

Bengaluru: Woman dies after being hit by luxury car driven by 'drunk' youth
Bengaluru (PTI): A 30-year-old woman died after she was hit by a luxury car being driven by a youth, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, police said on Tuesday.

According to police, Sandhya A S was crossing the road near the Kengeri TTMC (Traffic and Transit Management Centre) on the busy Mysuru Road on Saturday when she was hit by the Mercedes Benz car which then crashed into a bike.
