Kozhikode: On Sunday in Kozhikode, a person lost ₹40,000 as a result of online fraud. The perpetrator has been revealed to be a former Coal India Limited (CIL) staffer.
The man allegedly fell into a scam when a fraudster posed as a close companion of his acquaintance from Andhra Pradesh via a WhatsApp contact.
