Pune, March 19: Fraudsters posing as a "Delhi CID officer" swindled INR 70 lakh from a 50-year-old anesthesiologist in Pune through an elaborate cyber scam. The criminals falsely accused her of links to an international organ trafficking racket and subjected her to a "digital arrest," claiming she was under CBI surveillance. Under pressure, she was coerced into transferring her savings to a fraudulent account, believing it was part of an official investigation. The scam began in late February when the victim received a call from a fraudster posing as a bank executive, claiming her card was linked to illegal activities. She was then connected to a fake “Delhi CID officer” who, in a video call from a police station-like setting, alleged that INR 3 crore had been funnelled through her accounts. The fraudsters threatened her with immediate arrest unless she complied with their instructions.
