Fraudsters posing as senior official dupe accountant into Rs1.5cr transfer

Some bad people sent a message on WhatsApp to a person whose job is to look after a company's money.

The message pretended to be from a senior director of the company, like a big boss.

The bad people tricked the accountant into sending a very large amount of money, Rs 1.5 crore.

A crore is a very big number, so this was a huge amount of money.

The company is linked to a businessman and politician named Sanjay Pathak.

It happened in a city called Katni.

The police are looking into what happened.

A senior police officer named Abhinay Vishwakarma told people about the fraud on Thursday.

Tricks like this, where people pretend to be someone they are not to get money, are called cyber fraud.
