A professor of a top educational institution in the state has lost her life savings to cyber fraudsters. Posing as crime branch officials of Mumbai, the cyber fraudsters made the academic transfer 36 lakh from her savings account after scaring her that they found MDMA, passports and credit cards in an international parcel linked to her name. Claiming that investigation revealed a person accused of money laundering shared a joint bank account with her, one of the fraudsters, posing as an IPS officer, made her transfer the money.
