Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli was made a victim of a cyber KYC fraud as he lost 1.14 lakh rupees in the process. He registered an FIR regarding the same at Bandra Police Station on Tuesday. The fraudster claimed to be an official from the bank account in which Kambli has his account. 

The accused made Kambli install 'AnyDesk' a remote access application and transferred 1.14 lakhs from his account. This was done under the pretext of updating Kambli's Know Your Customer (KYC) documents. The former cricketer shared his application code which enabled the scamster to remotely control Kambli's mobile. 

The accused tricked Vinod Kambli into making a small payment and he was able to get hold of Kambli's bank details and One Time Password (OTP), using which he transferred 1.14 lakhs from his account. 

Upon receiving notifications from the bank about the transaction, Vinod Kambli immediately contacted the bank regarding the scam and subsequently approached Bandra Police. 

Senior Inspected of Bandra station Manohar Dhanwade said that they've lodged a FIR while Kambli hasn't been responding to phone calls or texts.
