Maha Kumbh 2025: To keep devotees safe and raise awareness about cybercrime in light of the ongoing Maha Kumbh, the Uttar Pradesh Police has released a Sanjay Mishra starrer short film. The film aims to alert the public regarding the dangers of sharing their personal information, particularly One-Time Passwords (OTP). The film features renowned Hindi Actor Sanjay Mishra as a wise Sadhu named Shambhu Shikari who receives a call from a cyber fraudster. The imposter offers him a free trip to London, a cruise sail, and shopping, which is a complete package with expenses for two people.
What happens next? The fraudster asks Shikari to share an OTP to confirm his details, however, the wise Sadhu busts his scam and says he is no fool. As the short film concludes, he warns viewers about the risks of cyber-fraud and urges them to remain cyber-safe. In an X post, UP Police released the video warning, “Never share your OTP with any unknown person. Stay cyber-safe, stay happy!”
