<h1>Man arrested in Rs 9 lakh digital arrest scam; admits creating account using forged rent agreement (IPC 420, IT 66D)</h1> A man was arrested for allegedly duping a retired government official of Rs 9 lakh through a 'digital arrest' scam in which callers posing as central investigation agency officers threatened the victim with money-laundering arrest unless he paid. The victim transferred funds to a bank account provided by the fraudsters and filed a cyber complaint; police registered a case and used digital forensics and surveillance to identify and apprehend the suspect. During interrogation the accused admitted opening the account-using a forged rent agreement-at the direction of an alleged accomplice, and investigators are tracing the accomplice and any related offences.
