The Jharkhand Criminal Investigation Department (CID) successfully apprehended the main suspect in a high-profile digital arrest scam swindling Rs 49.88 lakh, officials revealed on Monday.
The arrest follows a complaint by a Ranchi-based senior citizen victimized by cyber criminals masquerading as Bengaluru police officers, coercing him into transferring the money under the guise of a fabricated Rs 300-crore case.
Using advanced technical analysis and National Cybercrime Reporting Portal inputs, detectives captured the suspect in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, seizing a mobile phone, SIM card, and cheque books linked to the fraud.
