Kozhikode
Despite frequent alerts by the police, one more person from Kozhikode district fell victim to a ₹15.25-lakh fraud operated by a gang promising an international consignment of gold and dollars.
Police sources said the latest victim was a woman hailing from Engappuzha village in Thamarassery. She lost her money when she paid the amount sought by fraudsters in different instalments believing that they would give her the consignment on completion of the final payment. The woman was reportedly trapped by fraudsters through a set of well-planned WhatsApp communications.
