A 28-year-old doctor from Thane allegedly lost more than Rs 1.9 lakh to cyber fraudsters while buying cosmetics.


The doctor was buying the cosmetics on an online application.


Based on a complaint, the Naupada police on Sunday registered a case under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act.


"The complainant placed an order for cosmetics on an application on July 22 and received a call and message about an offer," the police said.

According to the complaint, the caller informed the complainant that she was eligible to receive a gift on her purchase if she carried out a transaction online.

"The doctor allegedly lost Rs 1.92 lakh in six transactions through various e-wallets," the official said.

Further probe is underway.
