Impersonator solicits money from State Audit employees

A man impersonating a senior official from the State Audit and Accounts Department has been soliciting money from employees. He hacked into the WhatsApp account of Deepak Doreyavar and sent requests for financial help to his contacts. Several employees, including Additional Director Nagaraj Sheregaar and Deputy Director Noorain Shariff, transferred money without verifying the request. The police have registered a case under the IT Act and are investigating the money trail. The incident was reported after a contact alerted Doreyavar about the suspicious messages. Authorities are working to identify the impersonator.
