India, June 11 -- In a major breakthrough in a cross-border cyber fraud case, Bengaluru police have arrested two men from Hyderabad in connection with a Rs.4.75 crore scam that saw an elderly couple manipulated into believing they were under "digital arrest," Indian Express reported.

The arrests follow leads from cybercrime investigators in Chennai, and expose links to a broader criminal syndicate with alleged operations in Sri Lanka and Cambodia.

The accused have been identified as Eshwar Singh and Ramnarayan Chowdhary, both residents of Hyderabad. Singh, police say, is a habitual gambler with extensive ties to Sri Lankan casinos, while Chowdhary runs a departmental store in the city.
