Panchkula man duped of Rs 2 lakh
A resident of Sector 20 was duped of Rs 2 lakh after his bank account details were obtained by a miscreant through a dubious application. The man fooled Yashpal Singla in the name of updating his household LPG connection record in Pune.
Singla said he received a message on his phone stating that his gas connection at his house in Pune had been disconnected. During a phone call, an individual, claiming to be an employee of Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) directed him to download an application and collected his connection and bank account details on the pretext of recharging it. Singla said the bank informed him that four transactions of Rs 50,000, each were carried-out though his account. The police have registered a case in the matter.
