Cybercrime is continuously increasing in the country. Sitting in one state and making digital arrests in any district of another state, people are being cheated of crores of rupees and the police remain inactive. Some criminals are caught, but most escape and continue to commit crimes. The latest case is from Meerut, where a retired bank employee was duped of about Rs 1 crore 73 lakh by threatening him with money laundering. It is alleged that the old man was digitally arrested for four days.
The entire Digital Arrest Tax Fraud case is from Meerut’s Civil Lines Police Station area, where an elderly Suraj Prakash, a retired bank employee, lives in Pandav Nagar. Some people digitally arrested him and cheated him of Rs 1 crore 73 lakh. In a complaint lodged at the cyber police station, the elderly man said that he first received a call on September 17, in which the caller, claiming to be from the telecom department, asked to block all his numbers. The caller said that an account has been opened in Canara Bank using your Aadhaar card, through which money laundering of Rs 6.80 crore has taken place.
Got a call from an old man on WhatsApp

The caller also threatened to send Burjag to jail. The goons refused to let him go out of the house or talk to anyone. The old man alleged that on September 18, Rs 3.80 lakh and Rs 5 lakh were transferred once from his bank account. At the same time, on September 20, Rs 90 lakh was transferred to the bank account.

Money has to be transferred to the account, which will be returned to them after verification.

SSP requested
To avoid this, they have to transfer the money to the given account, so that they can be protected and people become their victims. The SSP said that everyone is requested not to be cheated in this way and if any such call is received, immediately inform the police.
