A man posing as a Bank of India employee convinced a 72‑year‑old pensioner in Jaipur to update his life certificate, then siphoned ₹1.5 lakh through multiple transactions.
According to Amar Ujala, a resident of Jaipur was approached by an individual claiming to be a Bank of India employee. The fraudster offered to help the 72‑year‑old pensioner update his life‑certificate, a routine requirement for pension disbursement.
