Students and their families were enticed with promises of bank accounts, PAN cards, scholarships, educational loans, and government job opportunities. The fraudsters also collected all types of documents from these students and their families but never provided ATM cards or bank passbooks. When some students demanded ATMs, bank officials and employees refused to provide the documents, citing technical glitches.
Subsequently, when students investigated the matter themselves, it was revealed that transactions worth crores of rupees were being conducted through their accounts. When some students complained, the police administration, instead of catching the cyber fraudsters, harassed the affected students and their families.
