The incident took place on April 27, 2026, in the afternoon. Around 3:35 PM, Rahul received a call from an unknown number. The caller asked about his name, address, and profession. Since Rahul is associated with acting, he assumed it was related to a new project and shared basic information. However, shortly after the call, he realised something was wrong.

Within just half an hour, around 4:05 PM, Rahul received a message stating that Rs 85,000 had been transferred from his account to a UPI ID named “Dongri Supriya.” The shocking part was that he had not made any transaction nor shared his OTP or UPI PIN with anyone. The money was deducted immediately after the call, indicating a planned digital fraud.
