CBI to probe 2 ‘digital arrests’ involving Rs 31 crore
NEW DELHI: In a significant move, CBI has taken over two massive “digital arrest” cases reported from Gujarat last year. The financial losses in the cases – the victims, all senior citizens, lost Rs 19.2 crore and 11.4 crore – represent some of the largest sums siphoned in such scams.
Officials said CBI’s economic offences unit has now filed fresh FIRs in the two cases, which will be headed by its specialised probe units to track the money trails and arrest the masterminds.
