<h1>Elderly Couple Loses Rs 3.4 Crore Life Savings in Elaborate 'Digital Arrest' Fraud Scheme by Fake ED Officials</h1> An 82-year-old retired Army colonel and his 74-year-old wife lost Rs 3.4 crore in a 'digital arrest' scam. Fraudsters posing as Enforcement Directorate officials accused the victim of money laundering connected to a fictional Rs 5,038-crore scam. The perpetrators claimed the victim was implicated by the former owner of Jet Airways, showed fabricated evidence including Supreme Court letters, and coerced the couple into home confinement for 10 days. The victims were manipulated into transferring their life savings to multiple accounts. Having lost both their sons previously, the elderly couple has appealed to authorities including the Defence Minister to help recover their funds, which they depend on for survival. Chandigarh Police's Cyber Cell is investigating.
