Krishnagar, May 12(UNI) A cloth merchant allegedly duped several police officials in Nadia district of nearly Rs 3 lakh, posing as the OC of Nakashipara police station, after hacking latter's social media account.
Allegedly one Rabiul Islam, resident of Maslandapur of Habra police station area in North 24 Pargana district, hacked OC Raja Sarkar's social media account and used his identity to forge friendship with 20 police officials, mostly women, of various police stations in the district.
