A woman from Mangaluru lost over Rs 3.16 crore in a digital arrest fraud where fraudsters posed as police officers.
The woman received a call alleging misuse of a SIM card registered in her husband's name, leading to multiple transfers, ultimately to someone impersonating a public prosecutor.
The fraudsters obtained her personal and banking details and coerced her into making fund transfers, promising returns after verification.
The woman approached the police after transferring Rs 3.16 crore to various bank accounts; an investigation is ongoing.
