A retired Pune officer was defrauded of Rs 1.07 crore by individuals claiming his accounts were linked to money laundering. He transferred his savings into four accounts under duress. Weeks later, another scammer, posing as a crime branch officer, advised him to report the incident to the Pune Cyber Police. The victim arrived at the police station while still on a video call with this second fraudster, who then instructed the police to file a case against the initial scammers.
