Cyber crime police on the hunt.
The Cyber Crime police are on the hunt for a conman who, pretending to be a woman on social media, is allegedly selling land on the Moon to people as well as offering huge returns for investments in crypto currency.
The conman also posted advertisements on social media with captions such as, ‘Reserving land on the moon’ and ‘Higher returns for the deposit made’.
After a victim approached the police, the cyber crime police team launched an investigation and are tracking down the conman by following the money trail.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
