Digital Arrest Scam in Lucknow: Fraudster Poses as TRAI Official, Dupes SGPGIMS Professor of INR 2.81 Crore (Watch Video)

In a shocking incident of ‘digital arrest scam’, Dr. Ruchika Tandon, an associate professor at Lucknow’s SGPGIMS, was duped of INR 2.81 crore by cybercriminals posing as officials from the Telephone Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The fraudsters claimed her mobile numbers were under investigation for multiple complaints and linked to a money laundering case involving Naresh Goyal. They coerced her into downloading Skype and speaking with a fake CBI officer, who convinced her to transfer the money to seven different bank accounts under the pretext of avoiding arrest. This marks the 20th “digital arrest” scam in Lucknow, where victims are tricked into believing they are under investigation and must provide sensitive information or funds to avoid legal consequences. Dr. Tandon has lodged an FIR at the Cyber police station in Lucknow. Digital Arrest Fraud in Thane: Fraudster Posing As South Delhi Police Officer Sends Fake Arrest Warrant To Elderly Man, Dupes Him of INR 85 Lakh.
