Cybercriminals allegedly duped Balaraju of ₹12 lakh in an online fraud. According to reports, the MLA received a WhatsApp message containing a link in the name of an RTA challan.
After clicking on the link, Rs 12 lakh was reportedly withdrawn
from his bank account. On realising that he had fallen victim to cyber fraud, the legislator lodged a complaint with the police.
A case has been registered and an investigation is underway to trace the accused and recover the amount.
