The Byculla police has registered a first information report (FIR) against unknown persons after a 36-year-old woman from south Mumbai lost Rs 13.20 lakh to cyber fraud after clicking on a link received via WhatsApp. The alleged incident took place nearly two months ago, on July 28.
According to the woman, the money was part of the insurance settlement she had received just two months ago, following her husband’s death.
