Something similar has happened to a State Armed Force (SAF) constable on duty in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. The thugs sent him a link to administer a second dose of the corona vaccine. On clicking, some information was requested, three lakh rupees were deducted from his account along with filling in the information.
