PUNE: An 83-year-old Pune resident died of a heart attack just a month after being duped of Rs 1.2 crore in a “digital arrest” scam, where fraudsters posing as police and CBI personnel targeted him and his wife, officials said on Thursday.
The fraudsters threatened the man, a retired government official, claiming his name had surfaced in a money laundering case involving a prominent person, they said.
