Prashanth Kumar, a resident of Saraswathipuram, who holds an account in Kotak Mahindra Bank, got a message on Tuesday on his cell phone that an amount of Rs.31,250 has been withdrawn from his account. Prashanth, who was busy could not read the message on Tuesday. But on Wednesday, he got a shock of his life when he read the message that Rs.31,250 had been debited from his account.
