Kolkata businessman recovers ₹1.6 crore from WhatsApp fraud

Kolkata Police's cyber cell has returned Rs 1.6 crore to a businessman who fell victim to a WhatsApp fraud. The recovery occurred in less than 10 days after he reported losing Rs 2 crore on March 3. The businessman sought to buy a camera online and was tricked by fraudsters posing as a legitimate seller. They sent him images of cameras and requested advance payment. The police are continuing their investigation into the fraud case. This recovery is part of a broader effort by the police commissioner to enhance the speed of financial recoveries in cybercrime cases.
