Even prominent politicians fall prey to scammers in the world of cybercrime, which is a tremendous leveller. A person who is still unknown repeatedly called and texted the BJP legislator Ashish Shelar, requesting that he pay back a debt for which he had served as guarantee.
Shelar filed a police complaint of harassment. According to Shelar, he has never taken out a loan and has never offered to serve as a guarantee for the repayment of a borrower.
The legislator claimed that over the past two weeks, a person posing as from a lending app has bombarded him with calls and messages, to the point that his staff reported the incident to the Bandra police station. The caller persisted in pressing for the loan’s repayment. However, he added that the caller didn’t make any threats.
According to a Bandra police officer, a cyber crime unit from the police station is working on the complaint to find the source of the communications. “The number from which the calls came has been put on tracking mode,” stated the police officer.
