Hyderabad: In yet another case of ‘Digital Arrest’, a 67-year-old woman and her two daughters were subjected to a 17-day ordeal and kept under digital surveillance by cyber fraudster posing as investigators of central law enforcing agencies. The victims were pressurised to transfer Rs 5.5 crore, only to end up being cheated in their hands.

As per available information, the ordeal began on November 13, when the elderly woman, a resident of Basheerbagh, received a phone call from a man claiming to be an employee of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The caller alleged that her Aadhaar-linked phone number was implicated in money laundering and drug cases.


According to the police, the scammers intimidated the trio and made them transfer the amount in multiple transactions. The victims realised they were cheated on visiting the CBI zonal office in Sultan Bazaar to reclaim the money using the documents provided by the scammers.

Based on a complaint, the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) booked a case under sections of the IT Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and banking regulations and is investigating.
