The victim filed a complaint at the central division of the CEN Crime Police Station on Saturday, stating that she received a phone call on March 27 around 11 a.m. from someone who claimed to be an official associated with an insurance company. The caller informed her that an insurance amount of ₹63 lakh linked to her deceased husband was pending and could be released after paying certain processing charges.
