A 57-year-old software engineer in Bengaluru was duped of nearly ₹32 crore in a six-month-long "digital arrest" scam.
The fraudsters, who posed as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials, kept her under constant video surveillance and coerced her into making 187 bank transfers.
The ordeal started in September 2024, when the victim received a call from someone claiming to be from DHL.
