The Patiala police have registered over two dozen online fraud cases in the district in the past one year. Not only common man, but ministers and singers too fell prey to such frauds. On December 8, Punjabi singer Paramjit Singh alias Pammi Bai was cheated of Rs 1.09 lakh in a case of online fraud, prompting the Patiala police to register a case against one Sahil Pirzada of Faridabad, Haryana. In his complaint, Pammi said he received an invitation through an email for a recording session with ‘Coke Studio’ and a reputed TV channel at Mumbai in February. He said the accused posed himself as a public relations officer (PRO) of the TV channel. On his demand, the singer transferred Rs 26,400 as fee and Rs 26,400 as security deposit in his bank account.
