Annu Kapoor got duped of Rs. 4 lakh by cyber fraudsters on September 29 when one of them convinced him to share his bank details on the pretext of calling for a KYC update. After 10 minutes of the phone call, the actor received a call from his bank. He was told that his account had been compromised, and Rs. 4.36 lakh was transferred out of his account in two instalments.
Annu Kapoor approached the police soon thereafter. The police got in touch with the two nationalised banks in which the fraudsters had transferred the money in their accounts. In this way, Rs. 3.08 lakh was retrieved.
