KOTTAYAM: A poor accountant got embroiled in a prank played by an unknown person. Election campaign workers will be given Rs 500 and a pint to stick posters, Rs 1000 and a full will be given for tearing the opponent’s poster, Rs 2500 and a litre of liquor for a three-member team for praising the candidate, a special team will be given for Rs 5000 and a two litres of liquor for blemishing the image of the opponent. These are the words seen in a flux circulating in the name of election campaign workers in the social media.

The picture is being circulated in the social media in the name of ‘election campaign workers in Kottayam’. A phone number is also given in the flux board to contact them. In a probe conducted, it has been found that it is a fraud case. No such flux boards were seen in Kottayam. This is a prank played by someone.

Meantime, the number given in the flux board was that of an accountant of a private bank. He is a native of Pattambi in Palakkad. He came to know about it only when he received many calls. He later lodged a complaint at the cyber cell for misusing his number.
