JSU files FIR against fraudsters

SHILLONG: The Jaintia Students Union (JSU) has filed an FIR at the Sadar Police station against persons who have tricked people to submit their personal information such as names, addresses including ATM and Bank account numbers.
The JSU maintained that the “opportunists” had claimed that they belonged to various central government departments.
The JSU said the persons carried out their acts through phone calls and the public were made to believe that there are beneficial schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and many others which could be accessed if they registered with them.
The call was made from 89237-56767. The JSU urged the police department to track and monitor the phone number, in order to prevent the citizens from falling prey to fraudulent actions.
