Vadodara: A principal of the fire academy who lives in Godhra lost Rs 1.2 lakh from his bank account last month for cyber fraudsters.
The victim, Rohit Patel, who owns an account at the private bank branch in Udalpur Desar Taluka Village, filed a complaint of fraud under the Information Technology Law on Friday at the Desar Police Station.
In his complaint, Patel said that when he opened a mini statement of his bank account on October 11, he was surprised to find that RS 1.2 lakh had been withdrawn from his account.
Patel examined the bank balance because he had to transfer money to someone in Gandhinagar.
Between October 6 and October 11, some people transferred the number of their bank accounts to different accounts in four different banks.
Police say that usually Patel gets an SMS for every bank account transaction.
But for this transaction, he did not get any communication.
“Usually, money is transferred only after the one-time password sharing account holder (OTP).
But in this case Patel never received OTP.
We are investigating how the money is transferred,” said Police Inspector Circle P V Pargadu.
The police will find details from the bank about transactions and also about the account transferred.
