Uneducated man duped, loses over Rs 12 lakh

Mumbai | Sunday | 18th February, 2018

Summary:

Ramadhar Singh, an uneducated man, trusted his educated neighbour Vishwamitra Singh for doing bank transactions on his behalf. Ramadhar Rajdev Singh, a banana wholeseller from Thane, was allegedly cheated by his friend who siphoned Ramadhar of Rs 12,91,799. However, uneducated citizens who are not familiar with the digital payment platforms are often disarrayed due to its technological hassles. When Ramadhar went to the bank to withdraw money this week, he realised that the huge sum of money was missing. Vishwamitra, who already knew the password for Ramadhar’s ATM and PayTm, diverted the funds from March 2017 to October 2017..
