About The Case
As per the complaint by Kalidin, on May 11, Kalidin had some books which he wanted to sell on an online platform and hence he posted photos and details on its portal. In response to his post, an unknown person contacted him through phone. The man expressed his willingness to buy all the books but said he would pay through UPI. Kalidin, however, told him that he didn’t use the UPI. Hence, the person sent a QR code to him with Rs 2 on his mobile. After gaining trust, the accused sent several codes, using which he managed to siphon of Rs 74,948 from his account.
