The person told Bedi that there was a procedure for the same as we were sending the relevant amount from the army officer's account. At that time, one rupee was deposited in Bedi's account after following the process mentioned by the caller. He said that now he is sending INR 50k. Then asked Bedi to fill in some information there. But the money was not deposited in Bedi's account. Therefore, Bedi made the relevant process from his wife's bank account. At that time, a message was received that INR 50,000 was transferred from the wife's bank account.
When asked about it, the person said he will return the money and asked to send INR 25k for that. Bedi sent the amount. But no amount was credited to Bedi's wife's account. At that time he again asked to send INR 10. By doing this, the accused cheated Bedi of INR 85k. The Oshiwara police are investigating further in this matter.
