As the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony approaches in Ayodhya, cybercrooks are targeting Rambhakts, exploiting the upcoming consecration ceremony scheduled for January 22. The Bengaluru Police have issued a warning, urging people to be cautious of cyber attacks related to the Ram Mandir entry pass.
DG&IGP Alok Mohan took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to explain how cybercriminals are using the Ram Temple and VIP passes for the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya to deceive people. According to the police, miscreants are sending random WhatsApp messages with an attached link, claiming: ‘Congratulations, you are lucky! Apko milta hai VIP access on January 22 Ram Mandir Ayodhya inauguration’.
The recipient may assume that by clicking on the link and providing the requested details, including bank account information, they will secure a VIP pass for the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha event in Ayodhya. The state police chief posted a warning, stating, “Don’t click on the link sent on WhatsApp. They may steal your personal information or money by hacking into your bank account.”
