Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli recently became a victim of cyber fraud. A fraudster impersonated a private bank’s executive on phone and withdrew Rs 1.14 lakh from his account on the pretext of updating his know your customer (KYC) details. The incident came to light on December 3 after Kambli approached the Bandra police and registered a complaint.

The Bandra police’s cyber team managed to reverse the transaction with the help of the bank. According to the complaint, Kambli received a call from a person posing as an executive of a private bank who asked him for his banking details for updating KYC. Kambli was told by the executive that his card would be deactivated if the KYC details were not updated.

Kambli fell prey to the fraud after he downloaded “AnyDesk” application, as asked by the caller, to update the KYC. This app gave the fraudster remote access to Kambli’s device. While Kambli was on the call with the fraudster, multiple transactions took place on his account and the amount was debited.

As Kambli realised that the caller was not authentic, he got in touch with his CA, bank officials and the police. After getting details of the account to which the money was credited, cyber police asked the bank to reverse the transaction.

“We are getting call details record and details of the bank account to which money was transferred so that the fraudster can be tracked,” said a cop. Police said to avoid such frauds, banks repeatedly warn people not to share OTP or give out any KYC detail to any caller.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
