Kerala Police Probe Cyber Scam Offering Ministerial Berths

Kerala Police Probe Cyber Scam Offering Ministerial Berths

In Kerala, India, some politicians received WhatsApp calls from people pretending to be someone important.

They offered the politicians big jobs in the government if they paid a lot of money.

One politician, Vidya Balakrishnan, realized it was a trick and reported it to the police.

The police are now investigating and trying to find out who did this.

They think the scammers used a fake phone number to hide their identity.

This is not the first time something like this has happened in India, but there's no proof that any political party is involved in this specific case.
