Bengaluru Woman Loses Rs 2.05 Crore in Digital Arrest Scam

A 57-year-old woman in Bengaluru was tricked by scammers who pretended to be police officers.

They called her and said she was in trouble because of something linked to her ID card.

They scared her by saying her son would be in danger if she didn't give them money.

She sold her house and some land, and even took a loan to give them Rs 2.05 crore.

After she gave them the money, they told her to go to the police station to get her money back, but then they stopped answering her calls.

She realized she had been scammed and told the real police, who are now investigating.
