Rs 1.5 lakh gone in 3 hours — with no call, message or OTP

A Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) teacher in South Delhi was allegedly cheated of more than Rs 1.5 lakh by unknown fraudsters who hacked into two of his bank accounts and transferred the money to their accounts.

The police said the teacher had not received any calls, texts or shared bank OTPs, but the accused transferred the money through eight transactions in less than three hours between February 10 and 11, said the police.

The complainant told the police he was at a weekly market Sunday evening. When he returned home and checked his mail around half an hour later, he found eight fraudulent transactions in his two bank accounts.
