Hisar police recover Rs 1 lakh lost to cyber fraud, return full amount to victim

Hisar, Oct 31 (UNI) Hisar Police have recovered and returned the entire Rs 1 lakh lost by a local resident in an online fraud, officials said on Saturday.
A police official said the victim, Kapil Kumar of Hisar, had been cheated of Rs 1 lakh through an online transaction. Following his complaint, a case was registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station, and an investigation was launched.
Acting under the supervision of Superintendent of Police Siddhant Jain, a cybercrime team led by Sub-Inspector Parveen Kumar took prompt action, resulting in the recovery of the entire amount, which was subsequently returned to the complainant.
The police did not disclose the nature of the fraudulent transaction, the date of the incident or whether any arrests had been made.
SP Jain warned that cybercriminals were constantly devising new methods to defraud unsuspecting people and urged residents to remain vigilant while conducting online financial transactions.
"People should never click on unfamiliar links or share OTPs, banking passwords or confidential information with anyone," Jain said.
Stressing the importance of immediate reporting, he said victims should contact the national cybercrime helpline at 1930 or lodge complaints through the government's cybercrime reporting portal without delay.
"The sooner a cyber fraud is reported, the greater the chances of stopping the transfer of funds and recovering the money," Jain said.
He urged citizens not to remain silent after falling victim to online fraud, saying timely complaints could significantly improve the prospects of financial recovery.
