Hyderabad Senior Loses Rs 7 Crore in Elaborate Digital Arrest Scam

An 81-year-old man in Hyderabad was defrauded of Rs 7 crore through a sophisticated digital scam. Scammers, posing as courier company representatives and police officers, falsely implicated him in a drug trafficking and money laundering case. They subjected him to psychological pressure, including a "digital arrest," and coerced him into transferring his life savings under the guise of a financial verification process. The victim was pressured to liquidate assets over two months, with fraudsters promising to return the money after a fabricated investigation.
