Hyderabad: In yet another cyber fraud case reported in the city, two persons have been arrested by the cyber crime police for allegedly cheating a 74-year-old doctor of Rs 1.6 crore in a fake money laundering case.
The fraudsters, both natives of Gujarat impersonated as Mumbai police officers and conned the doctor. They manipulated her into believing that she was implicated in a money laundering investigation and threatened her with criminal action.
As per a Siasat Daily news report, the incident occurred when the elderly doctor received a video call from the fraudsters who presented themselves as officers from the Mumbai police. They falsely claimed that the doctor had a case registered against her for money laundering. The fraudsters intensified their threats, stating that if the doctor failed to appear at the Andheri police station, the Hyderabad police would arrest her.
To further convince the doctor of the seriousness of the situation, the fraudsters sent her fake case files and forged documents, including letters purportedly from the Reserve Bank of India, the Supreme Court, and the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Panicked by the threats and fearing legal repercussions, the doctor transferred ₹1.6 crore to the fraudsters' account.
Later, she realised that the fraudsters duped her following which she reported the incident to the police. A case was registered under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the fraudsters.
During the investigation, it was revealed that the account to which the money was transferred had been linked to multiple similar cybercrimes. Afterwards, the cybercrime police managed to trace the location of the culprits and apprehend them accordingly.
