MUMBAI, Nov. 8 -- A 65-year-old was cheated of Rs.75.5 lakh by cyber frauds posing as Delhi police, who claimed that he had been involved in a money laundering case where Rs.2.83 crore illicit money was transferred to an account in his name. The frauds placed the man under a 'digital arrest' and coerced him into paying them by breaking his fixed deposits, cashing in money from investments in shares, and even selling a flat in Borivli. According to the central cyber police, the man was a retired employee of Tata Hospital who lived with his wife in the BDD Chawl in Central Mumbai, not far from the NM Joshi Marg police station. From August 22 to October 27, the complainant kept getting calls from someone claiming to be an officer from the Delhi police. The caller told the man his Aadhar card, PAN card, and other documents had been sued to open several bank accounts involved in a money laundering case. The fraud added that the Mumbai police would soon arrest him, and until then they claimed they were putting him on "digital arrest". The frauds told the complainant that to avoid an arrest he could pay a 'surety' which would later be returned to him if he is found innocent. "They told him to withdraw his investments and savings, sell his property in Borivli, and transfer the money to their bank accounts," the police officer added. The complainant told the police that when they asked for even more money, he tried getting a loan too, but could not since he was retired. When the money was not returned and he could not reach any of the accused, he finally approached the local N M Joshi Marg police station. The police have registered case under relevant sections of the BNS and IT Act....
