MUMBAI: In a SIM card swap fraud case, a city-based textile merchant
lost at least Rs. 1.86 crore, which was illegally transferred from
his account by unidentified persons to various bank accounts across the
country, police said Wednesday.
The incident came to light when the victim, who hails from Mahim
in Central Mumbai, approached the BKC Cyber Police Station with a complaint
Friday, an official said.
According to the complaint, on the intervening night of
Thursday-Friday, the textile merchant's cellphone had stopped functioning after
some missed calls, he said.
The next morning, he found that his bank account, which was with
a co-operative bank and whose details were linked to his mobile phone, had been
almost emptied during the night, the official said.
