Elderly Men Lose Crores in Separate Online Fraud Cases; Suspects Arrested
Two separate cyber fraud cases involved elderly men losing large sums through online scams. In Tenkasi, a 76-year-old was deceived into transferring ₹70.90 lakh after receiving a fake 'digital arrest' call from fraudsters posing as police. In Thane, a 70-year-old man lost about ₹1.30 crore after being lured into a fraudulent online share trading scheme. Police arrested multiple suspects in both cases and urged the public to avoid sharing personal details and report cyber fraud promptly.
