Doctor Duped of Rs 2 Crore by Cyber Fraudsters Impersonating Police Officers
In yet another cybercrime incident, a doctor from Rayachoti, Annamaiah district, has been swindled out of Rs 2 crore by fraudsters impersonating police officers. Dr. Imtiaz, a physician at Ameen Hospital, became a victim of the scam after receiving a call five months ago from a number that displayed a police officer's photo.
