Pune Influencer Arrested for Rs 10.74 Crore Digital Arrest Scam Targeting Senior CitizenPreviousNext

Pune police arrested 26-year-old social media influencer Rohan Rameshwar Jadhav for his alleged role in a Rs 10.74 crore digital arrest scam targeting an 82-year-old businessman. The fraud involved threatening the victim with arrest over a fake case linked to businessman Naresh Goyal, coercing him to transfer funds to multiple accounts. Investigations revealed Jadhav's connections to a larger syndicate, including suspects in India and Hong Kong, with police examining financial transactions and cybercrime complaints linked to the accused.
