<h1>Retired official duped of Rs 21 lakh in 'digital arrest' scam by fake officers claiming PMLA and anti-terror probes</h1> A retired public-sector official lost Rs 21 lakh after cybercriminals posing as law-enforcement officers conducted a 'digital arrest' scam, calling and video-calling him and his spouse, demanding identity and property documents and coaxing debit card details. The fraudsters produced fake documents bearing police and national agency logos and invoked alleged offences under anti-terror and money laundering laws to coerce transfers, promising an RBI 'inspection' refund. The victim realized the deception after ten days and has filed a complaint; local cyber police have registered a case and opened an investigation into the impersonation and fraud.
