According to the police sources, the complainant is a resident of Kandivli. In January, the victim received a call from a person who introduced himself as a mobile service provider executive. He told the victim that if he did not update his KYC, his SIM card would get blocked. The CA was then asked by Mandal to download a mobile app.
