The Tehsildar of Talcher tehsil in Angul district fell prey to cyber fraudsters and lost Rs 90,000.

While illiterate and ill-informed people have been the soft targets of cyber fraudsters, educated and well-informed persons are also increasingly falling prey to these cyber criminals.  

In the latest, Rosalin Behera, the Tehsildar of Talcher, has become the victim of these fraudsters. The matter came to the fore after Behera lodged a case at Talcher police station.
