Kangra’s Superintendent of Police, SP Vimukt Ranjan informed that the police had reports from many parents receiving such calls over the past few days. This matching of children’s details to the details provided by the callers suggests that the details may have been hacked from the database of the School by hackers or other unscrupulous elements.
Balbir Singh also claimed that the caller asking him to pay an amount of INR 10,000 as a one-time payment to get his child admission in Sainik School. He told that an SBI account number was sent to him after the call, where the money was asked to be deposited. He again added, it is definitely seeming to be a fake call as Sainik School never asks for the online payment for the admission.
