A 23-year-old MBA student from Bhandup recently became a victim of sextortion and lost Rs 4.68 lakh to fraudsters who posed as YouTube officials. The Bhandup police have registered an offence, but no arrest has been made yet. The incident started on June 30 when the second-year student shared his mobile number with a woman on a dating app. Around 8 pm, he received a video call from the woman’s number on WhatsApp wherein a semi clad woman was seen making vulgar gestures. It took the complainant 4-5 minutes to realise something was amiss and he disconnected the call.
