As soon as the money came into the account, the accused also removed the mobile number of the woman from the WhatsApp group.

A few days ago, she was looking at her Facebook on her mobile, when an advertisement came. She clicked on it, after which she got added to the WhatsApp group. Many people were already connected in it.
The accused removed her from the group
