A 28-year-old man from Nagpur was duped of Rs 1 lakh by online fraudsters on the pretext of speeding up his passport application.
Harish Dhondabaji Jode was contacted by an unidentified person who asked him to download a link to pay Rs 5 as fees to speed up his passport application process, the Wathoda police station official said.
