Representative image BHUBANESWAR: The Covid-induced lockdown and more use of online platforms for purchase of essentials and other commodities during the difficult times have prompted cyber criminals to strike with impunity. At least 256 people were duped of nearly Rs 70.78 lakh by unknown cyber criminals in the capital city during the lockdown 1.0 and 2.0 in May this year. The cyber help desk (7440006709) of the commissionerate police had received complaints from the 256 people last month. We found that most of the complainants lost their money while placing online orders, either food, liquor, household articles and home appliances. Altogether 63 people lost their money through UPI fraud and 48 people were cheated while making transactions through debit and credit cards. Our help desk personnel promptly intervened and recovered around Rs 12 lakh, deputy commissioner of police Uma Shankar Dash said.
