The complainant, Surjit Singh, alleged that a few days back he received a call from person introducing himself as his relative living in Canada. “I too got convinced that caller might be my relative. He asked me to send some money as he got stuck in some legal issue in Canada and he immediately needed money to pay to his lawyer. The caller also said not to inform his parents as he will return the money in a few days,” revealed the complainant.

He said he transferred Rs 70,000 in the bank account provided by his fake relative. After transferring money he was shocked to know that alleged caller was fake.“I will try to meet the CP to lodge a complaint,” alleged Singh.
