According to the police, the suspect specifically targeted elderly victims by exploiting issues with their internet connection. Posing as a technical support representative, he used to convince them that their connection requires urgent repairs or upgrades.

“Under this pretense, he managed to persuade the elderly to provide their credit card details, which he then uses for unauthorized transactions,” said an official.

Recently, he duped 78-year-old man from the city to the tune of Rs 1.1 lakh in the similar way.
