Mumbai Woman Loses Over Rs 3 Crore in 'Digital Arrest' Scam; One Arrested

A 68-year-old Mumbai woman was defrauded of over Rs 3.71 crore by cybercriminals who posed as police, CBI officials, and even Chief Justice DY Chandrachud. The fraudsters conducted a fake 'digital arrest' and virtual hearing, claiming her bank account was used for illegal transactions. They convinced her to transfer her savings for 'verification' to prove her innocence. One man from Surat, allegedly involved in receiving a significant portion of the money through a mule account, has been arrested.
