Ex-nurse duped of 90L in ‘digital arrest’ fraud
Nagpur: A 72-year-old retired nurse from Jaripatka lost 90 lakh after a cyber criminal claiming to be a law enforcement agency officer kept her under ‘digital arrest' for several weeks. A case has been registered at the Cyber police station. As per police, the woman received a call in November last year from the fraudster who threatened her with arrest in a money laundering case.
