A doctor couple in Mumbai lost Rs 14.85 crore to an elaborate cyber fraud between December 24 and January 9. The fraudsters impersonated police officials, including an IPS officer, and falsely accused the couple of money laundering and involvement with Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal. They were threatened and held hostage virtually, coerced into transferring funds. The couple reported the incident to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, leading to a Delhi Police investigation into the fund flow and perpetrators.
