HISAR: A fake insurance agent has duped an ex-serviceman of Singhran village in this district of `25 lakh.

Rajender Kumar, a retired army man, on Wednesday submitted a complaint to inspector general of police (IGP), Hisar range, OP Singh, alleging that he received a call last month from an unknown person, posing as an insurance agent, who offered him “good insurance plans and fix-deposit schemes.”

Kumar said the caller asked him to provide his bank account number, ATM card number and other details. He said, “Within a week, the caller withdrew `25 lakh from my account and asked for more money. When I talked to my brother about the matter, he told me that I have become victim of a fraud. I approached the Mangali police post, but no action was taken.”

IGP Singh assured Kumar that he would get the matter properly investigated.

When contacted, the IGP said, “The matter has been forwarded to sadar police station for proper investigation.
