Rajasthan Men Targeted in Separate 'Digital Arrest' Cyber Fraud Cases
In Rajasthan, two separate cyber fraud cases involved victims being duped through 'digital arrest' scams. A 90-year-old retired judge in Jaipur was defrauded of Rs 2.5 crore by fraudsters posing as CBI and RBI officials, who pressured him via video calls over 15 days. In Khairthal-Tijara district, a man was tricked into transferring Rs 10 lakh after a caller impersonated a Delhi IPS officer. Police intervened in both cases, registering complaints and counseling victims to prevent further losses.
