Nagpur, Nov 7 (PTI) An MBBS student lost Rs 12.33 lakh in an online Ludo game that promised high returns through gameplay, a police official said on Saturday.
The 23-year-old final-year student of the Government Medical College had come across an advertisement for a Ludo app named ‘Try Players’ while watching YouTube videos, he added.
“The app promised users money through gameplay. Initially, the student made small profits. This encouraged him to invest more money.
He transferred Rs 12,33,184 in all through different UPI IDs and bank accounts,” the official said.
“However, he then started suffering continuous losses. When he contacted the app’s helpline, he realised that the game was rigged. The fraudsters later blocked him,” the official said.
A case was registered against the holders of two mobile numbers under Information Technology Act, and efforts are on to nab them, he added. PTI COR BNM
