Recently, a South Mumbai based electronics trader was duped of Rs 1,16,981 in the latest cyber fraud without sharing any sensitive information to anyone. The trader, identified as Niraj Jain has been running from pillar to post to get his cyber fraud complaint registered with DB Marg Police Station. The South Mumbai based resident has been reporting of frauds since May 14, 2019. Despite having a written complaint letter with them, the DB Marg police are yet to register a first information report (FIR) in order to investigate the matter further.

While speaking to mid-day, the complainant Niraj Jain said, "On the 14th of May, I twitted to Mumbai Police about getting continuous calls from an international number. I responded to a few calls but nobody was speaking. On twitter, the police told me to not respond or share any information with them and asked me to inform the local police. When I went to DB Marg Police to file a complaint I was told by the on duty officer that incoming calls are not illegal so he cannot do anything."
