A cyber fraud incident has been reported from Mumbai’s Sakinaka area, where a retired government officer lost Rs 4.10 lakh after being duped through a fake link linked to the Prime Minister’s portal. The fraud came to light after the senior citizen approached the police, following which a case was registered.

According to Sakinaka police, the complainant is a 71-year-old retired government officer who had recently come from Delhi to stay with his family in Mumbai. On December 12, he shared a suggestion on social media regarding the improvement of medical facilities in Ayodhya. On the advice of relatives, he later submitted the same suggestion on the official PM portal.
