Mumbai Woman Loses Crores in Digital Arrest Scam Using Fake Judge Impersonation

A 68-year-old Mumbai woman lost approximately ₹3.71 crore in a sophisticated digital arrest scam. Scammers, posing as police and CBI officials, convinced her she was involved in money laundering. They conducted a fake online court hearing using an individual impersonating Chief Justice DY Chandrachud to demand funds for her alleged bail. The woman transferred the money between August and October, with scammers promising its return after an audit. Police have registered a case and are investigating, with one suspect arrested in Surat.
