    Bengaluru Woman Loses ₹2.05 Crore in ‘Digital Arrest’ Scam

    A 57-year-old Bengaluru resident has reportedly lost more than ₹2.05 crore after falling victim to a long-running “digital arrest” scam, where cybercriminals posed as officials from a courier company and Mumbai Police.

    According to her police complaint, the incident began on June 19, 2025, when she received a call claiming that a parcel booked in her name contained illegal items and was linked to her Aadhaar details. The callers allegedly warned her of serious consequences and instructed her to cooperate in a supposed investigation.

    Believing the threats to be genuine, the woman followed their instructions for several months. During this period, she sold two plots and an apartment and transferred the money to accounts provided by the fraudsters. It was only last week that she realised she had been misled and approached the police.

    Investigators say the case follows a pattern seen in several recent digital fraud incidents, where victims are pressured into compliance through fabricated claims of legal trouble.

    Police have initiated an inquiry and urged citizens to remain cautious about unsolicited calls seeking personal details or payments.
