Overview
- Versova police registered the case on September 8–9 against an unidentified person accused of impersonation and fraud under the IT Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- The 69-year-old victim lives alone in Versova, and her daughter in London spotted a June 30 NEFT for Rs 65,000 before returning to Mumbai to lodge the complaint.
- The impostor engaged the victim on Instagram, Telegram and WhatsApp using reported identifiers 'reeves_1390' and 'keanu_reeves4576'.
- Funds were transferred to a Dehradun-based bank account reportedly in the name Nahar, and police are seeking account-holder details, IP data and information linked to a spoofed international number.
- Chat screenshots submitted to police show efforts to isolate the victim from family and include images of her passbook, deposit slip and passport, with the complaint noting references to selling jewellery that suggest earlier transfers may have occurred.
