As per the complaint lodged earlier at north Delhi’s Civil Lines Police Station, Kejriwal’s daughter was approached by a man who showed interest in making the purchase. He initially transferred a minimal amount into her account to check if the account details shared by her were correct. The man then sent a QR code to the Chief Minister’s daughter and asked her to scan it so that the amount fixed could be transferred but instead Rs 34,000 was debited from her account.
