According to senior vice president of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Mallu Ravi, who filed the complaint, several such instances were found across social media platforms. He even attached details of a reported transaction in the case.

The police have booked the case under cheating and related provisions of the Information Technology Act and are investigating.
