Rs 90 lakh lost to digital arrest, 70-year-old New Town resident falls in fraud web
A 70-year-old resident of New Town has been cheated out of ₹90 lakh after cybercriminals placed him under “digital arrest”.
Arun Kumar Raha, a resident of Sukhobrishti Apartment in New Town, filed a complaint with the cyber cell of the Bidhannagar City Police last week, claiming that a group of fraudsters contacted him in the guise of telecom department officials and a senior IPS officer, threatening arrest based on a fictitious Supreme Court order.
