The Hyderabad City cyber crime police have booked a case against certain persons for creating a similar logo and profile of the Indian National Congress (INC) and eliciting donations. The alleged fraud is timed with the party’s ‘donate for desh’ crowdfunding campaign.
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.
