A 74-year-old actress, who has worked in popular Hindi TV shows, was allegedly duped of Rs 3 lakh by a cyber fraudster impersonating as a wine shop employee.

According to the complaint lodged by the actor with the Shivaji Park police station, she was to throw a party for her nephew who was getting married in Pune. She wanted to give him a bottle of Amrut whiskey as a gift. “I went on Google to find numbers of wine shops and got two mobile numbers,” she told the police.

She called on the number and paid Rs 4,800 for the whiskey but did not get the delivery.
