A 70-year-old doctor was cheated by cyber criminals of Rs 3 crore and kept under “digital arrest” for eight days after being accused of involvement in a non-existent money laundering scam, a Mumbai police official said on Saturday.
In the month of May, the victim got a call from a person identifying himself as telecom department staffer Amit Kumar, who told her a SIM card had been bought with her personal details for use in criminal activities.
