According to officials, the accused have been identified as Raushan Kumar Shukla, Shivendra Kumar, Tushar Karmakar, Sagar Karmakar, Rahul Patro and Raju Patro. The complainant saw an advertisement online where someone was seeking financial help for their ailing relative, they added. So, the woman mentioned her contact information under the post, they added.
In December last year, the woman got a call from an unknown number. The caller told her that his relative is in need of money for medical purposes, Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Rohit Meena said.
