Reportedly, a person called Annu on the pretext of getting his Know Your Customer (KYC) details updated with a private sector bank. As he posed as an employee of the bank, in which Anuu has his account, he shared his bank details and One Time Password (OTP), said the police. After some time on Thursday, Annu received another call from the bank informing him that his bank account had been compromised and the amount was fraudulently transferred. The bank then deactivated Annu's account.
