YEIDA Manager Loses Rs 1.24 Crore in Cyber Fraud
A senior manager at YEIDA, named Brajpal Singh, was tricked by someone pretending to be a woman named Divya Sharma.
The fraudster started by sending a wrong message to Singh on WhatsApp.
They became friends and the fraudster told Singh about a website where he could invest money and earn more.
Singh believed the fraudster and invested Rs 1.24 crore.
Later, when he tried to withdraw his money, the fraudster asked for more money as tax.
After paying more, the fraudster stopped responding.
Singh then realized he had been cheated and reported the matter to the police.
A YEIDA senior manager lost Rs 1.24 crore in a cyber fraud initiated through a WhatsApp message.

The manager transferred money from February 1 to November 11, 2024, after seeing fake returns on the website.
