MUMBAI: Sitarist Pandit Rajendra Varman (75) from Seven Bungalow in Versova became the latest victim of electricity bill fraud when an unknown cyber criminal fraudulently transferred Rs 99,000 from his savings bank account after gaining access to his banking details on August 18.
Versova police said Varman had received a phone message from an unknown sender saying that his electricity bill was pending and the power connection would soon be disconnected. When the sitarist called on the phone number mentioned in the message, he was made to believe that he had not paid last month's bill.
