An 81-year-old man in Hyderabad lost approximately Rs 7 crore to a sophisticated "digital arrest" scam. Fraudsters impersonating Mumbai Police officers accused him of drug trafficking and money laundering, coercing him to transfer funds for "verification" over two months. Separately, an 85-year-old woman in Delhi was defrauded of Rs 1.34 crore in a similar scam involving fake legal threats. Both victims reported the incidents after realizing they had been duped.
