💨 Abstract

The Mumbai Police's digital "Rakshak" helpline thwarted five digital arrest scams. In one case, a Chembur senior citizen was tricked by a fake CBI officer via WhatsApp, who claimed large, suspicious transactions from his bank account. The fraudster threatened arrest and sent fake notices. The victim's daughter, noticing her father's distress, contacted the helpline. The police confirmed the scam, and the family was relieved.
