A head constable attached to the Jogeshwari Traffic Division of the Mumbai Police has fallen victim to a cyber fraud after scammers allegedly siphoned off his entire salary and savings from his bank account. The officer, who resides in the Worli Police Colony, discovered the fraud when he visited his bank and found his account balance completely wiped out.

According to police sources, the 43-year-old complainant works in the city’s traffic department and lives with his family in Worli. On October 7, he had visited an ATM kiosk near Bengal Chemicals, Century Bazaar, to withdraw cash. However, after entering his PIN, the screen repeatedly displayed an “incorrect PIN” message. Assuming it was a technical glitch, he left the kiosk.
