Pimpri Chinchwad: A 54-year-old man from Dighi fell victim to a KYC update scam, losing ₹2.55 lakh to fraudsters. The incident took place on October 6, 2024, when scammers contacted the victim, falsely claiming that his bank account required a KYC update.
The fraudsters tricked the man into downloading a fake banking app, which granted them unauthorized access to his account. Without his knowledge, they transferred ₹2.55 lakh, only for the victim to realize the scam upon noticing the missing funds.
After discovering the fraud, the victim lodged a complaint with the police on February 16, 2025. Authorities have since launched an investigation to identify and apprehend the criminals behind the scam.
