LUCKNOW, March 15 -- A man from Lucknow was allegedly duped of Rs.16 lakh by cyber fraudsters who threatened him with "digital arrest" and convinced him to transfer money on the pretext of a property investigation, police said. The victim, Puran Ram Tamta, a resident of Sadarouna Para, said he received a call from an unknown number on February 27. The caller introduced himself as 'inspector Ranjeet Kumar Yadav' and claimed to be a police officer. Soon after, another person identifying himself as Prem Kumar Gautam contacted him and threatened to implicate him in a false case. The fraudsters allegedly warned Tamta that he could face "digital arrest" and legal action, which left him frightened. The callers asked for sensitive details including photographs of his Aadhaar card, his wife's Aadhaar copy and information about his bank accounts. They then told him that money had to be deposited for verification of his financial records. Under pressure, he arranged the funds and transferred Rs.10 lakh on March 6. The accused allegedly made him deposit another Rs.6 lakh into a different account on March 9. The victim later realised he had been cheated and approached the police.htc...
