NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has arrested 11 men for their alleged involvement in multiple digital-arrest scams involving over Rs 12 crore, with nearly Rs 10.5 crore frozen, an official said on Tuesday.
The investigation began after a 69-year-old retired scientist and former director in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology alleged that he was cheated of Rs 1.25 crore. The accused allegedly posed as Delhi Police, Anti-Terrorism Squad and National Investigation Agency officers and threatened to arrest him in a money-laundering case.
