Let us tell you that on the same lines, a week ago, cyber criminals cheated a family of prisoners lodged in Katihar Mandal Jail for 75 thousand rupees in the name of getting better treatment by saying that he is speaking as the jailer of Katihar Jail. If the money is not sent, their family members will not be able to be sent out for treatment. There was an influx of family members outside the main gate of the Central Jail on early Sunday morning. Cyber criminals called him and informed him that his jailed relative was seriously ill.
