A Nagpur woman lost Rs 2.4 lakh after falling prey to online cyber fraud.
According to the police, complainant recently received an offer through the Telegram app for an online job.
"She was told to complete a few simple online tasks and received some amount," the official said.
"Later, the woman was lured with the promise of more income and was persuaded to make 'investments'. This way, she paid Rs 2.4 lakh to the fraudsters who were in touch with her through the app," said the police official.
