Retired judge, 90, loses ₹2.5 crore in digital arrest fraud

A 90-year-old former district judge was reportedly held under 'digital arrest' for about 15 days, during which scammers pretending to be CBI and RBI representatives swindled him out of ₹2.5 crore. The scam came to light after an SBI branch manager stopped the victim from moving funds out of his PPF account. It is reported that the victim had disclosed his mutual fund information and other financial details to the perpetrators.
