In pretext of playing game or studying on mobile minor boy transferred a staggering ₹33 lakh from her bank account into a neighbor's account. This illicit activity continued for a full five months. However, the horrifying reality was exposed and the family left completely devastated when the woman's elder son, who works as a teacher, checked her bank statements.

This incident occurred within the jurisdiction of the Rajiv Nagar Police Station in Patna. The victim works as a teacher at a private school. According to the complaint she filed with the police, whenever she returned home from school, her younger son would take the mobile phone from her. The mother assumed her son was merely browsing or watching something on the device; however, during this time, he was cunningly transferring money from her bank account.

The teacher's son, a medical student home for vacation, discovered ₹33 lakh in unauthorized transactions and a loan taken against his mother's bank account when he checked her statement. The money had been transferred to a neighbor, Anil, who, according to the teacher's complaint filed at the Rajiv Nagar Police Station, manipulated her minor son into making the transfers.

Anil then used the stolen funds to buy a car, jewelry, and take a trip to Banaras. During interrogation, the minor son confessed, "I made a mistake." Police have seized the mobile phone and bank records and are investigating the inducements offered to the boy. The complaint names Anil, his brother, and the teacher's son as suspects.
