A senior officer from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) lost ₹1.19 lakh in a credit card fraud.
Abhimanyu Kumar Tiwari, senior deputy JAG at ITBP’s Western Command Headquarters in Chandimandir, lodged a complaint after discovering fraudulent activity on his IndusInd Bank credit card.
He told police that a credit card was issued to him on April 22, but he had never used it.
However, on August 11, he noticed that two transactions —amounting to ₹1,00,882 and ₹18,343—had been made on July 1, without his knowledge or authorisation.
The transaction IDs indicate that the card was used for online purchases by an unknown individual.
A case under Sections 318(4), 319(2) and 61(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered at the cyber crime police station on his complaint.
The police are investigating the fraud.
