New Town man loses ₹3.26 crore to digital arrest
A resident of New Town has been cheated out of ₹3.26 crore after being trapped through a phone call. A group of fraudsters threatened him with a fake arrest warrant posing as officers from Mumbai Police, in yet another digital arrest fraud in the city.
Malay Basu Ray, a resident of New Town, had received a call on December 16 where the caller introduced himself as an officer of the Mumbai crime branch and informed Ray that a SIM card issued in his name had been reported to the police 24 times for alleged harassment, resulting in an FIR against him.
