A woman deputy engineer working at MHADA fell victim to cyber fraud and lost Rs 3 lakh as part of a ‘fake investigation’. Our report revealed how the victim received a call while at work with the fraudsters initially posed as representatives from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).

Spinning a yarn, the fraudsters claimed a cybercrime investigation had been initiated against her based on several complaints and then transferred the call to a ‘cybercrime officer’.
