The cyber crime police station is investigating a case wherein the accused has allegedly siphoned-off money from a bank account through a mobile phone SIM card of the account holder. It is for the first time that such a case has come up.
On December 2, the complainant Vibha Dutt, 35, a playback singer, who was out of the city, found that her mobile phone registration had failed and her SIM card had stopped working. When she returned on December 5, she found that someone had already taken a new SIM card in her name from the mobile service provider.
Later, Dutt found out that Rs86,000 had been transferred to an unknown account number from her account thorough the SIM card. A case was then registered with the cyber crime police station at Bandra-Kurla complex.
