Two men cheated the owner of a biryani hotel situated in Dayanand Layout, Ramamurthynagar, with a cash-back offer on an online payment app and transferred ₹52,000 from his account online.
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on Saturday when Pyarul Shah was busy attending to his customers. Conmen posing as bank executives approached him asking which version of the app he was using. They offered to install a new version which could fetch him a cashback of ₹300 everyday.
Excited by the offer, Shah handed over his phone to the duo and also shared the bank details account. After working on the mobile for a few seconds, the duo handed over the mobile back to Shah and left stating that the app was installed .
The cheating came to light when Shah tried to check his balance and found the amount has been transferred.
The Ramamurthynagar police have registered the case under IT act and efforts are on to track down the accused .
