A woman from Verna lost Rs 2.30 lakh after being duped by a person to link her Aadhaar card and PAN card.

Sources at Verna police said that on March 11, an unknown person sent a WhatsApp message with a link on the woman’s mobile phone, inducing her to open the link and download the app to link her Aadhaar card with her PAN card and that, it was the last day to do so.

"Believing it to be true, the woman opened the link of the bank and downloaded the same and further added details of her Aadhaar card, PAN card and the bank account number in the app. Soon, an amount of Rs 2.30 lakh was debited from her bank account,” said the source.

Verma police have registered an offence against the unknown accused under Section 420 IPC and Section 66 D of the IT Act and Verna PI Diago Gracias is further investigating the case.
