'Digital Arrest' Scam Hits 72-Year-Old Sikar CA: Rs 1.03 Crore Lost in 24 Days — How the Fraud Works, and Why Police, CBI or ED Never Arrest Anyone on a Video Call
A 72-year-old CA in Sikar lost Rs 1.03 crore in a 24-day digital-arrest scam (Patrika, May 2026). Fake CBI/ED officers in uniform threatened him over a fake FIR via video call. 15 transactions later, the money was gone. There is no such thing as digital arrest in Indian law.
