Police on Saturday booked an unidentified person after a Chandigarh resident lost ₹2.8 lakh by a swindler posing as a police officer over a phone call.
The complainant, Anand Singh of Dariya, said he on Friday received a call from an unknown number. The caller identified as a police officer and told Anand that his son Bipin Rawat, who is serving in the Indian Army, had been arrested with terrorists.
The caller sought ₹4 lakh from the complainant in order to save his son from legal trouble. Worried, Anand deposited ₹2.8 lakh into an account provided by the swindler only to later realise the fraud.
A cheating and criminal conspiracy case has been registered at the Cyber Crime police station in Sector 17.
