Woman loses ₹3 lakh from her bank account
The mother of a Standard 9 student recently petitioned the Ernakulam Rural Police about a fraud that usurped ₹3 lakh from her bank account. But the probe did not lead to any fraudster but to her own son who, while accessing the smartphone for online classes, got hooked on an online game, and the addiction cost his mother dear. “The money was spent over a mobile wallet in over 225 transactions of ₹40 to ₹4,000 over the game in just over a month. There were days when even 10 payments were made in a single day to keep on playing the game,” said police sources. It is suspected that the woman’s mobile wallet was linked to the mobile number, and the password was known to her son.
