Chandigarh, June 3 -- Another senior citizen from Sector 10-A, Chandigarh, has fallen victim to a sophisticated 'digital arrest' scam, losing nearly Rs.2.5 crore after scammers impersonated as top officials from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Supreme Court. In April, an 82-year-old Colonel Dalip Singh Bajwa (retd) was duped of Rs.3.41 crore by scammers posing as Enforcement Directorate officials. According to the woman's complaint, the scam began on May 3 when she received a call from someone claiming to be a TRAI official. He informed her that her phone number had been misused and was linked to criminal activity and an FIR had been filed in her name. The caller then transferred her to a man who identified himself as Arvind Sharma. He told her that a police officer would soon contact her for further investigation. Shortly after, she received a WhatsApp call from someone introducing himself as Vijay Khanna, the "investigating officer". Khanna added her to a group video call with six others, including a man claiming to be Raj Ranjan, deputy inspector general and chief investigating officer of the CBI. On May 4, the scammers escalated pressure on the woman, informing her that she was under "digital surveillance" and must keep her phone switched on at all times. They threatened her with severe consequences, including freezing of her assets, if she deviated from their instructions. The scammers then demanded full disclosure of her financial details, including bank accounts, mutual funds, insurance policies and other savings. On May 5, the woman was added to another group video call, where a person posing as the Chief Justice of India presented her with what appeared to be a Supreme Court order, instructing her to transfer funds to a "secret supervision account" within 48 hours. She was also shown a fake petition to the Chief Justice, requesting the attachment of her assets. Over the next few days, the scammers micromanaged her every move. Fearing consequences, the woman complied with their demands and transferred nearly Rs.2.5 crore. The fraud is now under investigation by the cyber police station, Sector 17....
