Udupi: A case of cheating involving millions of rupees has been filed at the Udupi Sen crime police station. 

Dileep (56), a resident of Suda village, fell victim to a fraudulent scheme after receiving a WhatsApp message about a purported trading opportunity. 

Upon contacting the provided number, Dileep was convinced that investing money in the Telegram app would yield high dividends.

Subsequently, on June 18, Dileep transferred a total of Rs. 3,44,200 in increments to various bank accounts as directed by the accused, using online transactions.

However, it is alleged that the accused failed to deliver the promised dividends and did not return the deposited money, resulting in financial losses for Dileep.
