How a 92-year-old Noida man lost ₹1.02 crore in a ‘digital arrest’ scam
A 92-year-old retired professor found himself trapped in a digital nightmare, as fraudsters posing as CBI officers placed him under a five-day “digital arrest,” manipulating him into transferring ₹1.02 crore, his life savings.
Police said the elderly man, residing in Noida Sector 30, received a call on August 26 from someone claiming to be a telecom executive, which soon led to repeated WhatsApp messages accusing him of money laundering.
