Scammers target Crime Branch chief by mistake, he plays along, video calls them in uniform

Panicked scammers hastily ended their latest ‘digital arrest’ attempt on Sunday when they realised they had picked the Additional DCP of Indore Crime Branch, Rajesh Dandotiya, as their target.

The incident occurred at around 2 pm Sunday, when Dandotiya was in his office. He received an automated voice call, telling him that a transaction of Rs 1,11,930 had been fraudulently made using his credit card and that an FIR had been filed. The caller also warned that his bank account would be frozen within two hours.
