Man Loses Rs 1.34 Crore in Elaborate Digital Arrest and Extortion Scam

A man in India lost Rs 1.34 crore in a sophisticated digital arrest scam. Fraudsters impersonated Mumbai crime branch officers, threatening the victim with arrest and a fake courtroom drama via video calls. Over nearly a month, they pressured him into transferring his life savings, with some funds allegedly used for illegal cryptocurrency trading. The victim reported the incident after realizing he had been deceived.
