💨 Abstract

In Mumbai, a 23-year-old chemical technology student from Tamil Nadu was defrauded of Rs 6 lakh after searching for escort services online. Starting with a small advance payment, the fraudsters repeatedly asked for more money under various pretexts. After realizing the scam, the victim filed a police complaint, leading to an FIR under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and the Information Technology Act.
