As per the complaint, Manoj took a loan from the ICICI bank and bought a flat in the society a few months ago. He was supposed to pay Rs 10 lakh to the bank as loan amount, out of which, Rs 7 lakh were withdrawn from his account.
The FIR copy further stated, “On December 7, Manoj received a phone call. The caller introduced himself as the security manager of the ICICI Bank and confirmed the details related to the bank account with Manoj. The caller asked several questions and as soon as he gathered all the information, the phone call was disconnected.
