💨 Abstract

A 72-year-old retired engineer in Rohini, Delhi was duped of over Rs 10 crore after being held on a "digital arrest" for eight hours at his house. The fraud is suspected to be carried out by foreign callers with the help of associates in India. The victim received a call about a parcel from Taiwan, containing banned drugs, and was forced to transfer money to separate accounts during a Skype video call.
