LUCKNOW, Nov. 17 -- A retired deputy general manager of Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) was allegedly swindled of Rs 47 lakh after cyber fraudsters trapped him in a "digital arrest" for nearly two days, police said. A case has been registered, and the cyber crime police station has begun probing the transactions, SHO Brijesh Yadav said. Om Prakash Narayan Mishra, 80, a resident of Shringar Nagar in Alambagh, approached the cyber cell after learning he had been deceived by callers posing as CBI officials. He received a WhatsApp audio call on November 11 from an unknown number, where the caller claimed to be from the CBI and alleged that a bank account linked to his Aadhaar was involved in a money laundering case. Moments later, a fake arrest warrant was sent to him, officials said. The gang then forced him onto a video call, where one person appeared in a police uniform inside what seemed like a police station. For the next two days, the fraudsters kept him on video calls, impersonating police officers and later a "judge" sitting in a courtroom-like setting. He was told that he could prove his innocence by helping them "catch the real accused", for which he was told to transfer Rs 47 lakh to a specified bank account.HTC...
