In a recent case, cybercriminals targeted Punith, the son-in-law of Minister Narayana. The scammers impersonated him and sent an urgent message to his company’s accountant. The message claimed they needed ₹1.96 crore immediately due to an emergency. Without verifying the request, the accountant transferred the money.

Punith later realized the scam and reported the incident to the police. Authorities arrested two suspects, Aravind and Sanjeev, while another suspect remains at large. The incident highlights the growing threat of cybercrime and the need for vigilance when making online financial transactions.

This case serves as a reminder to double-check all online transactions and verify any urgent requests to avoid falling victim to cybercriminals.
