A 72-year-old retired Tibetan teacher in Mundgod, Karnataka, has lost ₹1.61 crore to a sophisticated "digital arrest" cyber scam. Fraudsters posing as Mumbai Police and CBI officials contacted the victim via Skype, claiming his Aadhaar was linked to money laundering and narcotics. Under the guise of a "secret investigation," the scammers kept him under 24-hour video surveillance for five days, coercing him into transferring his life savings into multiple accounts. The scam only came to light when the victim contacted a relative. Local police have registered a case and warned the community against such psychological digital traps.
