An elderly NRI doctor couple in Delhi was defrauded of approximately Rs 14 crore in a sophisticated "digital arrest" scam. Between December 24 and January 9, fraudsters impersonating officials from TRAI and law enforcement agencies subjected the couple to continuous phone and video calls. Exploiting their isolation and fear of legal action, the scammers coerced them into transferring life savings to multiple bank accounts. The couple, who had returned from the US, only realized they were defrauded after the calls stopped and approached the police, who have launched an investigation.
