According to the police, the fraud came to light after MSEDCL junior engineer Parkhi received a mobile bill on January 11. “I received a mobile bill for a number which I never subscribed to. The bill had my name and address. So I called the number and inquired with the person who answered the call. I was shocked after he introduced himself as Vijay Parkhi. I went ahead and asked him his address, and he surprisingly stated my residential address,” said Parkhi.
